lyrics

Reach out and take a hold of the sun
If it burns your palm will you know you were wrong?
The eye of the world looks down the barrel of the gun
Will we stem the tide or will we watch it come?
Will we make or choice of will we just look on?
And be blown away when the battle’s done?

Man of stone you’ve got to get off the phone
You’ve got to look ahead into the great unknown
Man of gold knows how to make you pay the price
Man of rain is going to wash to away your life (rights)
Man of wire is going to start the fire
To burn inside the new men of stone

Don't tell me that they’re here again
Don’t tell me you’re the new stone men
The beast in its layer, the wolf in its den
Have all lost their share to the new stone men
Do you think you care do you remember when?
There was flesh and blood before the new stone men?
Chorus

Move quickly now while there’s something to defend
There’s no room for remorse among the new stone men
Choose carefully now we may not choose again
There’s no turning back among the new stone men
Sleep uneasily now, what power guides the pen
Or the hearts and minds of the new stone men?
