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 said 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 said Hey - Hey - Hey - Hey
Gather 'round the stone
Hey - Hey - Hey - Hey
Gather 'round the stone

Said Hey - Hey - Hey - Hey
Gather 'round the stone
Hey - Hey - Hey - Hey
Gather 'round the stone

You whip the back of freedom
‘Till it bleeds an oil stream
Then you sail down upon it
In your killing machine

I said 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 said 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 said Hey - Hey - Hey - Hey
Gather 'round the stone

Said Hey - Hey - Hey - Hey
Gather 'round the stone
Hey - Hey - Hey - Hey
Gather 'round the stone
