Stop your screamin', stop puttin' me down
Sayin' my hair is much too long
Teachers & preachers say that rock is wrong
I ain't goin' to hell for singin' a song
Give me liberty is what I say
I will fight in my way
Fight in my way baby

Sticks & stones will break my bones
But rock 'n' roll will never hurt me
Sticks & stones will break my bones
But rock 'n' roll will never hurt me

I've got a voice & I've got a choice
But mommy & daddy won't let me choose
I want it louder 'cuz we've got the power
The power to fight back, we can't lose

So give me liberty, is what I say
I will fight to be free
Fight to be free baby

Sticks & stones will break my bones
But rock 'n' roll will never hurt me
Sticks & stones will break my bones
But rock 'n' roll will never hurt me (x2)

(guitar solo)

Sticks & stones will break my bones
But rock 'n' roll will never hurt me
Sticks & stones will break my bones
But rock 'n' roll will never hurt me (4)
