Lyrics[]

Wild joker on a gold throne
Blood diamond, summer home
Wrong people with the right to know
But I can't do anything about it

All saying that life's hard
Don't want it in our backyard
We should be further from the start
But I can't do anything about it

We so afraid, we fire away
What's a life worth?
We so afraid, repeat the mistake
Just to come first

We're the liars in the face of facts
Different weapon but the same attack
No, I ain't throwing stones
No, I ain't throwing stones

Every lesson lost in the past
Pardon me but I don't wanna go back
No, I ain't throwing stones
No, I ain't throwing stones

Think the boogie man will get me
Think different is the enemy
It's been this way for centuries
And I can't do anything about it

Can't wait to light the cannonball
Can't face the mirror says it all
Sins of the father make us fall
And I can't do anything about it

We so afraid, we fire away
Just to come first

We're the liars in the face of facts
Different weapon but the same attack
No, I ain't throwing stones
No, I ain't throwing stones

Every lesson lost in the past
Pardon me but I don't wanna go back
No, I ain't throwing stones
Oh, because I know
I ain't standing alone
I ain't standing alone

No, I ain't standing alone
Mmm, yeah, yeah
I ain't the only one who don't wanna throw stones

We're the liars in the face of facts (yeah, yeah)
Different weapon but the same attack
No, I ain't throwing stones
No, I ain't throwing stones

Every lesson lost in the past
Pardon me but I don't wanna go back
No, I ain't throwing stones
No, I ain't throwing stones

We're the liars in the face of facts (oh)
Different weapon but the same attack (no)
No, I ain't throwing stones (No, I ain't throwing stones)
No, I ain't throwing stones
