I'd Rather Be A Stone
I remember the day I stopped reading the news
Tried to look between the lines, couldn't find the truth
I turned off my TV set, a long time ago
If you ask me what's happening I'll tell you I don't know
I've always tried to see the world through someone else's life
But then I slept unknowingly with someone else's wife
She told him all about it, and he was not amused
They say he shot her as she slept, but I never read the news
I'm a fool, I'm a loser, I'm a dreamer, I'm confused
I'm a thief, I'm a winner, I'm the user and the used
And I want to find my true love, but I love being alone
If this means I'm only human then I'd rather be a stone
There was never a time when I felt satisfied
I tried to cross the river but the river was too wide
The water dragged me under, they only found my shoes
They say it was no accident but I never read the news
I'm a fool, I'm a loser, I'm a dreamer, I'm confused
I'm a thief, I'm a winner, I'm the user and the used
And I want to find my true love, but I love being alone
If this means I'm only human then I'd rather be a stone
Throw me across rocky ground
Then up to the sky above
I'll fall and not feel anything
Never hurt by armies, fate or love
I know what comes when you are made
Of flesh and blood and bone
If this means I'm only human then I'd rather be a stone
If this means I'm only human then I'd rather be a stone
