Stone In My Hand

Everlast · Love, War And The Ghost Of Whitey Ford [2008]

Ride with the devil, hide with the Lord

I got no pistol, ain't got no sword

I got no army, ain't got no land

Ain't got nothing but the stone that's in my hand



Stone in my hand, stone in my hand

Ain't got nothing but the stone that's in my hand



You say you want a revolution, well, get on board

We'll start a new crusade, we'll start a Holy war

Don't need no orders, don't need no plan

I don't need nothing but the stone that's in my hand



Stone in my hand, stone in my hand

I don't need nothing but the stone that's in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand

I don't need nothing but the stone that's in my hand



You build your fighter jets, you drop your bombs

You kill our fathers, you kill our moms

Kill our brothers and our sisters, and our uncles and our aunts

Still I'm fighting with the stone that's in my hand



Stone in my hand, stone in my hand

Still I'm fighting with the stone that's in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand

All the love that's in my heart and the stone that's in my hand



Blood runs the gutters, smoke fills the sky

Every son that suffers, every mother cries

So if you've had enough and you're ready for your stand

I'll be waiting with the stone that's in my hand



Stone in my hand, stone in my hand

I'll be waiting with the stone that's in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand

All the love that's in my heart and the stone that's in my hand
