[00:26.06]When we were young we pledged allegiance
[00:29.99]Every morning of our lives
[00:33.37]The classroom rang with children's voices
[00:37.05]Under teacher's watchful eye
[00:40.68]We learned about the world around us
[00:44.49]At our desks and at dinnertime
[00:48.11]Reminded of the starving children
[00:51.87]We cleaned our plates with guilty minds
[00:55.87]And the stones in the road shone like diamonds in the dust
[01:02.98]And then a voice called to us to make our way back home
[01:10.44]When I was ten
[01:11.50]My father held me on his shoulders above the crowd
[01:17.72]To see a train draped in mourning
[01:21.75]Pass slowly through our town
[01:25.13]His widow kneeled with all their children
[01:28.79]At the sacred burial ground
[01:32.61]And the TV glowed that long hot summer
[01:36.35]With all the cities burning down
[01:40.22]And the stones in the road
[01:43.47]Flew out beneath our bicycle tires
[01:47.47]Worlds removed from all those fires
[01:51.08]As we raced each other home
[02:22.98]And now we drink our coffee on the run
[02:26.98]We climb that ladder rung by rung
[02:30.60]We are the daughters and the sons
[02:34.29]And here's the line that's missing
[02:40.60]The starving children have been replaced
[02:43.98]By souls out on the street
[02:47.52]We give a dollar when we pass
[02:51.34]And hope our eyes don't meet
[02:55.15]We pencil in we cancel out we crave the corner suite
[02:58.82]
[03:02.37]We kiss your ass we make you hold we doctor the receipt
[03:10.19]And the stones in the road fly out from beneath our wheels
[03:17.49]Another day another deal before we get back home
[03:24.98]And the stones in the road leave a mark from whence they came
[03:32.09]A thousand points of light or shame baby I don't know
