They say everything’s all right.  
They say better days are here.  
They tell us, “these are the good times.”  
They don’t live around here.

Stoned out of my mind

Well, they’ll stone you when you walk all alone  
They’ll stone you when you are walking home  
They’ll stone you and then say you are brave  
They’ll stone you when you are set down in your grave  
But I would not feel so all alone  
Everybody must get stoned

Close enough but not too far  
Maybe you know where you are  
Fighting fire with fire.
