[00:30.36]When we were young we pledged allegiance
[00:34.24]Every morning of our lives
[00:37.62]The classroom rang with children's voices
[00:41.55]Under teacher's watchful eye
[00:43.05]
[00:44.93]We learned about the world around us
[00:47.43]
[00:48.94]At our desks and at dinnertime
[00:51.17]
[00:52.24]Reminded of the starving children
[00:54.36]
[00:56.05]We cleaned our plates with guilty minds
[00:58.43]
[00:59.93]And the stones in the road shone like diamonds in the dust
[01:05.24]
[01:07.18]And then a voice called to us to make our way back home
[01:12.43]
[01:14.61]When I was ten
[01:16.11]My father held me on his shoulders above the crowd
[01:21.93]To see a train draped in mourning
[01:24.93]Pass slowly through our town
[01:27.99]
[01:29.36]His widow kneeled with all their children
[01:32.92]At the sacred burial ground
[01:35.17]
[01:36.80]And the TV glowed that long hot summer
[01:39.74]
[01:40.36]With all the cities burning down
[01:42.61]
[01:43.99]And the stones in the road
[01:46.61]
[01:47.24]Flew out beneath our bicycle tires
[01:49.55]
[01:51.20]Worlds removed from all those fires
[01:53.57]
[01:55.01]As we raced each other home
[01:57.07]
[02:27.25]And now we drink our coffee on the run
[02:31.03]We climb that ladder rung by rung
[02:34.66]We are the daughters and the sons
[02:38.41]And here's the line that's missing
[02:44.41]The starving children have been replaced
[02:47.97]By souls out on the street
[02:51.22]We give a dollar when we pass
[02:53.91]
[02:55.28]And hope our eyes don't meet
[02:59.03]We pencil in we cancel out we crave the corner suite
[03:04.09]
[03:05.78]We kiss your ass we make you hold we doctor the receipt
[03:11.10]
[03:14.22]And the stones in the road fly out from beneath our wheels
[03:19.79]
[03:20.91]Another day another deal before we get back home
[03:26.23]
[03:28.55]And the stones in the road leave a mark from whence they came
[03:35.86]A thousand points of light or shame baby I don't know
