Beatles and Stones Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look at him shouting out
Loud as thunder out at sea
He wants a bomb
So do we
A bomb from the sky
Is the perfect crime
Shoulder on shoulder and heat

[Chorus]
The Beatles and the Stones
Sucked the marrow out of bones
Put the "V" in Vietnam
The Beatles and the Stones
Made it good to be alone

To be alone

[Verse 2]
Look at me, proud of being
Proud of being seventeen
Locked in, they park and they smile
Soft from the school
Cut by the rules
Oh I'm dazed and I'm dazed and I'm dazed

[Chorus]
The Beatles and the Stones
Sucked the marrow out of bones
Put the "V" in Vietnam
The Beatles and the Stones
Made it good to be alone

To be alone
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
The Beatles and the Stones
Sucked the marrow out of bones
Put the "V" in Vietnam
The Beatles and the Stones
Made it good to be alone

To be alone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
