lyrics

a sower came along
sowing his seed
could it be grain?
would it be a weed?
then came all the blues and
those trouble makers
down in stony acres
nothing has a meaning
nothing is profound
everything is empty
as you look around
disposable illusions with
incinerators
down in stony acres

stony acres, stony acres
plenty of nothing
plenty of fakers
it could make you weep
ground was never deep
down in stony acres
gravel on the road
hard as a rock
what’s the point of a battleship
tied up in the dock?
you get wasted in the shallows
with those passion takers
down in stony acres

stony acres, stony acres
thought I was living it up
with the movers and the shakers
trying to be cool, I was just a fool
down in stony acres
I was taking my time when
mystery divine
I saw my true condition
as I withered on the vine
I was only wasting money
on the butchers and the bakers
down in stony acres
stony acres, stony acre

all I ever got was a heartbreaker
I didn’t have a root so there
wasn’t any fruit
down in stony acres

stony acres, stony acres
time came to join
all the other forsakers
my roots are in the ground
now look at what I found
away from stony acres
I used to just survive
then I came alive
far from stony acres
