[00:30.57]When we were young we pledged allegiance
[00:33.45]
[00:34.26]Every morning of our lives
[00:36.94]
[00:37.82]The classroom rang with children's voices
[00:41.63]Under teacher's watchful eye
[00:43.95]
[00:45.07]We learned about the world around us
[00:48.38]
[00:48.95]At our desks and at dinnertime
[00:51.63]
[00:52.45]Reminded of the starving children
[00:55.57]
[00:56.13]We cleaned our plates with guilty minds
[00:59.01]
[01:00.26]And the stones in the road shone like diamonds in the dust
[01:06.26]
[01:07.19]And then a voice called to us to make our way back home
[01:13.57]
[01:14.69]When I was ten
[01:16.01]My father held me on his shoulders above the crowd
[01:21.13]
[01:22.00]To see a train draped in mourning
[01:24.82]
[01:25.88]Pass slowly through our town
[01:28.32]
[01:29.38]His widow kneeled with all their children
[01:32.55]
[01:33.18]At the sacred burial ground
[01:35.81]
[01:36.74]And the TV glowed that long hot summer
[01:39.93]
[01:40.61]With all the cities burning down
[01:43.17]
[01:44.62]And the stones in the road
[01:46.56]
[01:47.55]Flew out beneath our bicycle tires
[01:50.61]
[01:51.49]Worlds removed from all those fires
[01:54.99]As we raced each other home
[01:58.32]
[02:27.26]And now we drink our coffee on the run
[02:30.32]
[02:31.14]We climb that ladder rung by rung
[02:34.75]We are the daughters and the sons
[02:37.82]
[02:38.50]And here's the line that's missing
[02:41.31]
[02:44.44]The starving children have been replaced
[02:47.63]
[02:48.19]By souls out on the street
[02:50.38]
[02:51.38]We give a dollar when we pass
[02:54.56]
[02:55.24]And hope our eyes don't meet
[02:57.88]
[02:59.19]We pencil in we cancel out we crave the corner suite
[03:05.06]
[03:06.12]We kiss your ass we make you hold we doctor the receipt
[03:11.87]
[03:14.44]And the stones in the road fly out from beneath our wheels
[03:20.57]
[03:21.28]Another day another deal before we get back home
[03:26.81]
[03:28.58]And the stones in the road leave a mark from whence they came
[03:35.02]
[03:35.89]A thousand points of light or shame baby I don't know

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
