[Verse 1] If I could kill a word and watch it die Id poison never, shoot goodbye Beat regret when I felt I had the nerve Yeah, Id pound fear to a pile of sand Choke lonely out with my bare hands Id hang hate so that it cant be heard If I could only kill a word [Verse 2] Id take brokeness out back And break heartbreak, stand there and laugh Right in its face while shootin it the bird Id put upset down in its place Id squeeze the life out of disgrace Lay over under six cold feet of dirt If I could only kill a word [Chorus] Give me sticks, give stones Bend my body, break my bones Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue Cause you cant unhear, you cant unsay But if were up to me to change Id turn lies and hate to love and truth If I could only kill a word [Verse 3] Id knock out temptations teeth Id sever evil, let it bleed Then light up wicked, stand and watch it burn Id take vice and Id take vile Tie em up there with hostile Hang em high and leave em for the birds If I could only kill a word [Chorus] So give me sticks, give stones Bend my body, break my bones Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue Cause you cant unhear, you cant unsay But if were up to me to change Id turn lies and hate to love and truth If I could only kill a word If I could only kill a word
