[00:00.000] 作词 : Carpenter [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
