When we were young we pledged allegiance
Every morning of our lives
The classroom rang with children's 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 they shone
Like diamonds in the dust
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 morning
Pass slowly through our town
His widow kneeled with all their children
At the sacred burial ground
Tv blow that long hot summer
With all the cities burning down
And the stones in the road they flew out
Beneath our bicycle tires
Worlds removed from all those fires
As we raised each other home
And now we drink our coffee on the run
We climb that ladder one by one
We are the daughters and the sons
And here's the line that's missing
The starving children
Have been replaced by souls out on the street
Give a dollar when we pass
And hope our eyes don't meet
We pencil in we cancel out
We crave the quarter sweet
We kiss your ** we make you hold
We doctor the receipt
And the stones in the road they fly out
From beneath our wheels
Another day another deal
Before we get back home
Stones in the road leave
A mark whence they came
A thousand points of light or shame
Baby I don't know
Done Again
