<>When we were young we pledged allegiance every morning of our lives
　　The classroom rang with children’s voices under teacher’s 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 here’s the line that’s missing
　　
　　The starving children have been replaced by souls out on the street
　　We give a dollar when we pass and hope our eyes don’t 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 don’t know
