Lyrics Joan Osborne – Rainy Day Women #12 & 35

Well, they’ll stone you when you’re tryin’ to be so good
They’ll stone you just like they said they would
They’ll stone you when you’re tryna 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 streets
They’ll stone you when you’re tryna keep your seat
They’ll stone you when you’re walkin’ on the floor
They’ll stone you when you’re walkin’ to 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 un and able
They’ll stone you when you’re tryna make a buck
They’ll stone you and then they’ll say, «Good luck»

Yeah, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they’ll stone you and say that that’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, alright

Well, they’ll stone you when you are all alone
They’ll stone you when you are walking home
They’ll stone you and then say they’re all brave
They’ll stone you when you’re sent down in your grave

But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get, everybody must get stoned!
