THE TEARAWAYS LYRICS

"Blood From Stone"

Born to dwell in the stagnated hell of a third generation family
Dad says this land is all he’s had and all you’ll have to remember him
but free markets weren’t in place when they built your future
and your livelihood not expendable
So with your taxes you’ll pay them to take it away
Blood from a stone? That’s incredible!

He lived a life
in the shadows of plight
No future in sight
so he’s leaving

Leaving tonight
the season is right
There’s nothing to gain
when each new seed’s washed out with the rain

What can you do when you gotta start anew
you gotta take what you can get I guess
but when the factories are closing and the army’s for fools
you’ve never known any more than this
Well come in son the parties just begun
but never turn your back
Once bitten twice shy but on the second time
you best be prepared to bite back
