lyrics

Walls Of Stone

They only went out
To have some fun
On a Greenwich Village night
In a Stonewall pub
That was Mafia-run
No stomach for a fight
Banned from all the hetero bars
They danced in their safe haven
But the police and God
And the Moral Squad
Decided it was time to raid ‘em

CHORUS
Whatever your sexuality
You’ll never stand alone
No level of police brutality
Will drive you from your home
We’ll stand with you like walls of stone
We’ll stand with you like walls of stone

As heavy-handed New York cops
Arrested each drag queen
They brought the party to a stop
And labelled them obscene
But up stepped Marsha Johnson
And she kicked up a fuss
She said ‘No pride for some of us,
Without liberty for all of us …’

No pride for some of us
Without liberty for all [REPEAT X4]

CHORUS

BREAK

When all the colours of the rainbow
Shine a light on equal rights
When people are who they want to be
Transparent in plain sight
When homophobes are silenced
And bigotry is last week’s news
You can dance instead of rioting
throwing any shapes you choose

CHORUS [REPEAT X2]
We’ll stand with you like walls of stone
We’ll stand with you like walls of stone
