Verse 1:
The time came when you had to hit the pavement
[?] like a caveman
Never going clean again
Venturing out on your own
I had to give it to you
I was always acting [?]
Thinking there was something
That I actually be kinda scared
But I will be a man of stone
Chorus:
Take it down, break it over
Until they fit together
Move the pieces all around
Take it over, from now
On
From now on
It's up to me to set the tone
From now on
I will be a man of stone
From now
On
Verse 2:
You got your ink
But you think you might have taken it
Too far before forsaking it
You covered all your nakedness
Now all you own is curtain clothes
It's not a sin when your skin is telling everything
How could you ever lie about
The girls that you were trying out?
Lauren, Lauren, Lauren Rose
Chorus:
Take it down, break it over
Until they fit together
Move the pieces all around
Take it over, from now
On
From now on
It's up to me to set the tone
From now on
I will be a man of stone
From now
Bridge:
On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
To God and my country
Chorus:
Break it down, take it over
Until they fit together
Move the pieces all around
Break it over, from now
On
From now on
It's up to me to set the tone
From now on
I will be a man of stone
