Heart of Stone

Sittin’ one night at the local bar…..
Talking to a friend of a friend
Started out fine when the talk was light, but got ugly near the end
He couldn’t seem to see around…. the blinders that he wore V1
He was so wrapped up in what was in it for him, he considers life a sport
Only to win, that’s all that matters, Only to win, that’s all there is

Tried to tell my story to a man with a heart of stone
He wouldn’t listen, he couldn’t own
He couldn’t own what the facts would tell him CHORUS 1
He couldn’t see that the lies were his
He wouldn’t open his eyes, no matter what he’s shown
He’s got a heart of stone He’s got a heart of stone.


Walked on down to the meetin’ room……
Hoping to say my piece
They wouldn’t even entertain the fact I had something to say
Didn’t even notice…. that the time was growing short V2
They were so wrapped up in their own little worlds, they consider life a sport
Only to win, that’s all that matters, Only to win, that’s all there

Tried to tell my story to a people with hearts of stone
They wouldn’t listen, they couldn’t own
They couldn’t own what the facts would tell them CHORUS 2
They couldn’t see that the lies were theirs
They wouldn’t open their eyes no matter what they’re shown
They’ve got hearts of stone They’ve got hearts of stone


So how do you deal with a heart of stone
The truth doesn't matter and it lives all alone
In a space that can't be reached by reason or words BRIDGE
It's all closed off, it's made up it's mind
Is there even any hope, that we will find
An answer? Are there any answers?

Tried to tell my story to a man with a heart of stone
He wouldn’t listen, he couldn’t own
He couldn’t own what the facts would tell him CHORUS 3
He couldn’t see that the lies were his
He wouldn’t open his eyes no matter what he’s shown
He’s got a heart of stone He’s got a heart of stone
He’s got a heart of stone He’s got a heart of stone
He’s got a heart of stone
