They're all throwing stones at the back of my home
kicking the dirt in the air
I left to think, while they're thinking I'm stoned
I had no cause to be there.
I left this town while I had something left
to bury the fear in my head
it's all just the same because the city's just as bad
it's full of people like me.
We've all run away
everyone wants what nobody needs
silver and gold
everyone wants, what nobody needs.
I ran to the woods and I preached to the birds
St. Francis talking to me
he said I'd find love in the pain I'd endure
if I would just listen to him.
With my ear to the ground and my heart full of lead
I quietly listened to teach
with tears in his eyes he just looked straight through me
I awkwardly waited for speech
We've all run away
everyone wants what nobody needs
silver and gold
everyone wants, what nobody needs.
Once I was sure that this love was the truth
I quickly spit in his face
I returned to my home friends and I, we threw stones
bragging that we knew the way.
