Stones In The Road - Various[00:00:01]

When we were young we pledged allegiance[00:00:30]

Every morning of our lives[00:00:33]

The classroom rang with children's voices[00:00:37]

Under teacher's watchful eye[00:00:41]

We learned about the world around us[00:00:44]

At our desks and at dinnertime[00:00:48]

Reminded of the starving children[00:00:52]

We cleaned our plates with guilty minds[00:00:55]

And the stones in the road[00:00:59]

Shone like diamonds in the dust[00:01:02]

And then a voice called to us[00:01:06]

To make our way back home[00:01:10]

When I was ten my father held me[00:01:14]

On his shoulders above the crowd[00:01:18]

To see a train draped in mourning[00:01:21]

Pass slowly through our town[00:01:26]

His widow kneeled with all their children[00:01:29]

At the sacred burial ground[00:01:33]

And the TV glowed that long hot summer[00:01:36]

With all the cities burning down[00:01:40]

And the stones in the road[00:01:44]

Flew out beneath our bicycle tires[00:01:47]

Worlds removed from all those fires[00:01:51]

As we raced each other home[00:01:54]

And now we drink our coffee on the run[00:02:27]

We climb that ladder rung by rung[00:02:30]

We are the daughters and the sons[00:02:34]

And here's the line that's missing[00:02:38]

The starving children have been replaced[00:02:44]

By souls out on the street[00:02:47]

We give a dollar when we pass[00:02:51]

And hope our eyes don't meet[00:02:55]

We pencil in we cancel out[00:02:58]

We crave the corner suite[00:03:02]

We kiss your ass we make you hold[00:03:05]

We doctor the receipt[00:03:09]

And the stones in the road[00:03:14]

They fly out from beneath our wheels[00:03:16]

Another day another deal[00:03:20]

Before we get back home[00:03:24]

Stones in the road[00:03:28]

Leave a mark from whence they came[00:03:31]

A thousand points of light or shame[00:03:35]

Baby I don't know[00:03:39]
