Tell me 'bout my brothers
show me where they've gone
tell me how the lovers
all turned fighters one by one
you can talk to me of lawyers
and marches by the poor
you can tell me all 'bout johnny
he went marching off to war
stoney days and rainy nights
mister is the coast still clear
I miss the malls and the neon lights
and I miss that oly beer
holy moses, holey shoes
is that all they got for me
my tattoo says I'm born to lose
and my mama saw it on the tv
in the stoney days
and rainy nights
well we all burned our papers
and we all raised our fists
but they got us sooner or later
stuck us right in the middle of this
stoney days and rainy nights
mister is the coast still clear
I miss the malls and the neon lights
and I miss that oly beer
holy moses, holey shoes
is that all they got for me
my tattoo says I'm born to lose
and my mama saw it on the tv
there's a band out playin' some marching song
supposed to get me on my feet
as the caissons still go rollin' along
rollin' over everyone they meet
in the stoney days
and the rainy nights
in the stoney days
and the rainy nights
I wish somebody'd finally tell me what are we here for
i wish somebody would sell me some idea worth dyin' for
in the stoney days
and the rainy nights
in the stoney days
and the rainy nights
well in the stoney days (stoney days)
and the rainy nights (rainy nights)
in the stoney days (stoney days)
and the rainy nights (rainy nights)
oh, in the stoney days
and the rainy nights
in the stoney days
and the rainy nights
