Aritst: Hooters, The
Album: Nervous Night
Track: Blood From A Stone
(Eric Bazilian; Rob Hyman)

Your buddy Sam's a bit confused
But he don't know what to do
Getting tired of hearing your demands
He's got the whole world in his hands

And you can drive the outside lane
Last car on the gravy train
You can scream and you can moan
But you can't get blood from a stone

I'm working hard to pay the rent
And support my government
Built the highways and the railroad tracks
Now we're not giving up 'til they give it all back

You can laugh but it's no joke
Gotta fix the thing that's broke
There's no meat only bone
And you can't get blood from a stone

They say strength and fortitude
Keeps a man from gettin' screwed
The future raises so many doubts
You put it in but you can't get it out

A black hole in a bottomless pit
I'm gettin' tired of all this bullshit
You can drive the outside lane
Last car on the gravy train

You can write you can call on the phone
You can knock but there's nobody home
I could scream and I might moan
But you can't get blood from a stone

No you can't get blood from a stone

No you can't get
Can't get
Can't get
Can't get blood from a stone
(repeat)

No you can't
No you can't
No you can't
No you can't get blood from a stone
(repeat and fade)
