I heard the preacher man speaking on the radio
I remember thinking that I'd like to tell him where to go
Go back to that book that you've been waving around
Open it up, and go to that part about

You without sin, pick up that stone
You without sin, pick up that stone
He's turning it over, to the other side
He's turning it over now, cause you can't hide
All that lies beneath, all the lies beneath
The killing stone

Saw another fella talking on the TV show
Trying to tell me how to live and just how I should vote
Says he believes in the sanctity of life
100,000 died
Tell me are you sanctified

Chorus

We're all looking for redemption
But is it for our souls

You without sin, pick up that stone
You without sin, pick up that stone
You without sin, pick up that stone
You without sin, pick up that stone
He's turning it over, to the other side
He's turning it over, turning it over now
Cause you can't hide
All that lies beneath, all the lies beneath
You can't hide beneath
The killing stone

Letra MP3 de The Killing Stone

Por: Hootie & the Blowfish


La historia Hootie comenzó en los apartamentos de estudiantes de la Universidad de South Carolina en el otoño de 1985. Un guitarrista flaco y alto de Maryland llamado Mark Bryan estaba saliendo de su cuarto cuando escuchó una increíble voz tipo barítono haciendo estragos en el pasillo. Preguntó a uno que pasaba si sabía quien estaba haciendo semejante música y se enteró que era Darius Rucker, quien también estaba estudiando periodismo como Bryan. Mark encontró a Rucker y comenzaron a charlar. Cuando comenzaron a hablar de música, se dieron cuenta que tenían mucho en común. Pronto estaban tocando y cantando juntos, Bryan dando el acompañamiento mientras Rucker cantaba canciones desde Al Green y Otis Redding hasta Tom Waits y The Eagles
