Stone's Throw Away
Peter Mealy

No more TV
just the facts
We're at a point
where the options retract
The baby's been cryin' since morning today
And life's in the balance
A stone's throw away
I never seen a building burn
I never seen you so mad
I never seen the tables turn
I only know what I read
It's the darkest time of nightand it's a beautiful day
And the weather's getting nasty
A stone's throw away
Can't stay in the house
too uncertain out back
Step on the sidewalk
you slip into the crack
The law's out of order and truth's joined the fray
And it's raining like a hailstorm
A stone's throw away
I don't need an excuse
I just need a few bucks
For a second hand suit
and my first good luck
If it's wrong tell me later just get put of my way
Cause they're living like kings
A stone's throw away
