Right Between The Eyes

LYRICS

Don't care what they have to say

Why you listening to them anyway

Why do you have to give them what they want?

They love to watch you as you fall apart

Stick it to them like a phoenix rise

There's nothing grander than the big surprise

They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones

About time take them right between the eyes

Seek to destroy cause they're scared of you

That's why they try to make a fool of you

They're so jealous of my pretty star

Cause you've got soul inside your shattered heart

Stick it to them like a phoenix rise

There's nothing grander than the big surprise

They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones

About time take them right between the eyes

And you've been waiting all your life

To fly high into somebody else

And it's true it's a cruel, cruel world

Life's a bitch and then you die my love

Don't care what they have to say

Nobody's listening to them anyway

Stick it to them like a phoenix rise

There's nothing grander than the big surprise

They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones

It's your time, time take them right between the eyes

Right between the eyes

Right between the eyes

Right between the eyes

People like to build you up

Then they'll stab you in the back like that

You know it breaks my heart

To see you going out like that

Stay alive my love

Stay alive my love

Stay alive my love

Stay alive my love

Thoughts on RBTE - It's a pretty straight forward message. The world is a cruel place and people will only try to push you down. You have to rise above and be your own person. Don't let others stand in the way of your dreams and goals and don't listen to the critics.

I read that it was written for Courtney Love, but whether that is true or not I don't know. I would imagine so..
