They'll call you hones, call you nigger
Call you walk trash and a two bit beggar
Say you queer, say you a faggot
Say you the scum of a no good maggot
Say you're a fool, say you're dirty
Say you smell and you can go to hell
Say you're a slut, call you a whore
Make you come in through their back door
And when they get you alone
They'll use their sticks and stones
They'll keep you out when it gets cold
Cause you're to young or you're to old
Teach your kids to steal and lie
Say little boys and little girls, there's no other way to get by
They'll make you work without no pay
Call you lazy at the end of the day
Do you wrong and say that it is right
Call you ignorance for askin' them why
And when they get you alone
They'll use their sticks and stones
They'll use their sticks and stones
They'll use their sticks and stones
They'll use their sticks and stones
They'll call you skinny, call you fat
Call you a sneaky little thievin rat
Say you're strange, mixed up, derunged
Say you're ridin' on the devils train
Say you're tainted, old bad blood
Kick your family name around in the mud
They'll try and break you, make your run
Live on fear, instead of living of love
And when they get you alone
They'll use their sticks and stones
They'll use their sticks and stones
They'll use their sticks and stones
