Gather 'round the stone
Off to die in vain
Gather 'round the stone
In a tear-drop shaped locket
Gather 'round the stone
Gather 'round the stone
I say, hey, hey, hey, hey
I say, hey, hey, hey, hey
Remember my name
Gather 'round the stone
I say, hey, hey, hey, hey
That you're too young to go
They will hear death's constant whisper call
I say, hey, hey, hey, hey
Gather 'round the stone
Ashes from an unfinished life
Gather 'round the stone
Gather 'round the stone
I say, hey, hey, hey, hey
You're too young to know
Are all that's left
Lying face up in the ground
Old men who send children
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Gather 'round the stone
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
You whip the back of freedom
‘Til it bleeds an oil stream
Hanging from his mother's chest
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Gather 'round the stone
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
In your killin' machine
Gather 'round the stone
Gather 'round the stone
I said, hey, hey, hey, hey
Then you sail down upon it
Gather 'round the stone
Gather 'round the stone
Hey, hey, hey, hey
There's no freedom to be found
I said, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
