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
You shouldn't listen 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
About time take them right between the eyes
People kill to build you up
They they'll stab you in the back like that
You know it breaks my heart
Can't see you going out like that
Stay alive my love
Stay alive my love
Stay alive my love
Stay alive my love
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
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
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
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
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
You shouldn't listen to them anyway?
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
They they'll stab you in the back like that
You know it breaks my heart
Can't see you going out like that
Stay alive my love
Stay alive my love
Stay alive my love

I'm loving this song!
It's about persevering even when everyone wants to see you fail. I love the new Garbage album, it's one of their best since the self titled album.
I love this song too, except perhaps the 'life's a bitch and then you die' part, that grates on me.
I love this song so much. My whole life kinda relates to this song right now.
Basically this song is about standing up for yourself and not to let other people bring you down or take advantage of you. And how there are people in this world who want to brind you down so that they'll feel better about themselves.
"don't care what they have to say, Why should you listen to them anyway?"
To me, this line just means....we shouldn't give a shit what people think of us and the stuff we do. As long as we're happy doing it just do it!
"stick it to them like a phoneix rise, there's nothing grander than the big suprise, they can't hurt you with their sticks and stones, About time take them right between the eyes"
After all those years of letting people walk over you and make fun of you, it's about time to stand up for youself and kick them in the balls!!! There's nothin grander than the big suprise!!!!
Well this is what Right Between The Eyes means to me. Thank you Shirley for writing such amazing lyrics!!
I agree that it's about standing up for yourself. Really catchy as hell, too.
