	Story Behind the Song This was inspired by the young uns at Out Youth Austin, a gay and lesbian youth group of the bravest folks we've ever met. The KKK wanted to adopt a mile of highway in Missouri. (Naturally, folks were afraid they'd only pick up white trash.) No problem. The Department of Transportation, thinking outside the box, wisely changed the name to the Rosa Parks Highway. Lyrics CHORUS: Sticks and stones may break your bones But words can break your heart Fools can be so cruel But fools are not so smart Remember you’re rubber Remember they’re glue It’s not what they call you It’s what you answer to In the lunchroom, the locker room, the restroom, or the hall Listen, you can hear the names they call. But the classroom’s not the last room where you’ll hear ridicule Check the executive washroom or the typing poolRosa Parks, Harvey Milk, Karen Silkwood, Ryan White Showed us you can take two wrongs and do what’s right Ah, but what if it’s human nature to wanna be one up I’ll just try to remember it’s more fun to share my cup Then after supper we’ll find a thesaurus and take it down off of the shelf Open up, realize you can make a name for yourself.
