Lyrics for Gather 'Round The Stone

Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone You're too young to know that you're too young to go There's no freedom to be found lying face up in the ground I say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone" Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone Ashes from an unfinished life are all that's left In a tear-drop-shaped locket hanging from his mother's chest I say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone" Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone I say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone" Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone You whip the back of freedom 'til it bleeds an oil stream Then you sail down upon it in your killing machine I say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone" Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone Old men who send children off to die in vain They will hear death's constant whisper call remember my name I say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone" Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone I say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone" I say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone" Hey, hey, hey, hey, gather 'round the stone
