Sticks and Stones Songtext
von Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real

Sometimes when I′m uninspired
I take a hit to get me higher
Some folks might describe me as a sinner
You can call me anything
You could never hurt my feelings
Just try not to call me late for dinner

Sticks and stones may break my bone
But you can't tell me nothing that′ll hurt
Dust to dust, we're all just pushing dirt

Sometimes, I get overwhelmed
With all the people raising hell
Wasting all this precious little time
Easy does it, can't you see
You and me, we′re all just dreamin′
You can take what's mine most any time


Sticks and stones may break my bone
But you can′t tell me nothing that'll hurt
′Cause dust to dust, we're all just pushing dirt

(Ooh, ooh, ah)
(Ooh, ooh, ah)
(Ooh, ooh, ah)
(Ooh, ooh)

The only time that I get pissed
The only time I can′t resist
My angry side that most won't ever see
Is when I see a human being
Take up arms against my kin
Then, you'll see the fightin′ side of me

Sticks and stones may break my bone
But you can′t tell me nothing that'll hurt
Dust to dust, we′re all just pushing dirt

Sticks and stones may break my bone
But you can't tell me nothing that′ll hurt
Dust to dust, we're all just pushing dirt
