If Thats the Way You Want It

You can stab my back, you can steal my flag
But its alright
Little sticks and stones, break my brittle bones
But Im alright
Every single day is a little step closer to my new heaven
If thats the way you want it
Thats the way youll get it
If thats what youre thinking
Dont think you wont regret it
If thats the way you see it
Just reach out and touch it
But you better beware it dont burn your hands
So step back and step back
Dont cry, dont cry
I am strong enough, Im made of serious stuff
Yes Im alright
You can sling your mud, yeah even draw a little blood
But Im still alive
Every single word, youre serving up as hot air for my big balloon
If thats the way you want it
Thats the way youll get it
If thats what youre thinking
Dont think you wont regret it
If thats the way you see it
Just reach out and touch it
But you better beware it dont burn your hands
So step back and step back
Dont cry, dont cry
So you bought your new dream
But youre payin with your dignity so dearly
Dont cry, dont cry
