- When we were young we pledged allegiance
Every morning of our lives
The classroom rang with childrens voices
Under teachers watchful eye
We learned about the world around us
At our desks and at dinnertime
Reminded of the starving children
We cleaned our plates with guilty minds
And the stones in the road shone like diamonds in the dust
And then a voice called to us to make our way back home
When I was ten
My father held me on his shoulders above the crowd
To see a train draped in mourning
Pass slowly through our town
His widow kneeled with all their children
At the sacred burial ground
And the TV glowed that long hot summer
With all the cities burning down
And the stones in the road
Flew out beneath our bicycle tires
Worlds removed from all those fires
As we raced each other home
And now we drink our coffee on the run
We climb that ladder rung by rung
We are the daughters and the sons
And heres the line thats missing
The starving children have been replaced
By souls out on the street
We give a dollar when we pass
And hope our eyes dont meet
We pencil in we cancel out we crave the corner suite
We kiss your ass we make you hold we doctor the receipt
And the stones in the road fly out from beneath our wheels
Another day another deal before we get back home
And the stones in the road leave a mark from whence they came
A thousand points of light or shame baby I dont know
La la la la la la
