The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, they'll stone you when
You're trying to be so good.
They'll stone you just like
They said they would.
They'll stone you when
You're tryin' to go home
Then they'll stone you when
You're there all alone,
But I would not feel so all alone.
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone you when
You're walkin' on the street.
They'll stone you when
You're tryin' to keep your seat.
They'll stone you when
You're walkin' on the floor.
They'll stone you when
You're walkin' through the door,
But I would not feel so all alone.
Everybody must get stoned.
They'll stone you when
You're at the breakfast table.
They'll stone you when
You are young and able.
They'll stone you when
You're tryin' to make a buck.
They'll stone you and then
They'll say, "Good luck,"
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone.
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone you
And say that it's the end
Then they'll stone you
And then they'll come back again.
They'll stone you when
You're riding in your car.
They'll stone you when
You're playing your guitar.
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone.
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone you when
You're walkin' all alone.
They'll stone you when
You are walking home.
They'll stone you
And then say you are brave.
They'll stone you when
You're set down in your grave,
But I would not feel so all alone.
Everybody must get stoned.
