Another stone rolls over

The republic is just one more year older

But way out in the distance

We see your white boots glisten in the sun



We know you've come here with a plan

To lift our city out of ruin

Shoulders back and arms at our sides

We sincerely hope you know just what you're doing



Another stone rolls over

The republic is just one more year older

But way out in the distance

We see you draw your pistols and aim at us



At first we try to reason with you

But you suggest we say our prayers

Shoulder back and arms in the sky

We sincerely hope you live a better life



Cause you

You're so calm

I don't know where you are from

You

You're so young

I don't care what you've done wrong
