WAR DRUM

beatin' on your war drum
hoping that the war will come
what in the hell you get done
when you're beatin' on the war drum

1
in every town, and county, state and city
every cultural municipality
everybody just trying to be free
from the war turnin' our children into memory
think about what adore,
fight against what you abhor
everybody's trying to get more
now at dawn the wolf is knocking at your door
the wolf, the wolf, the wolf is at your door
time is running out for sure
push, push, push us into war
God know we don't need another killing floor

beatin' on your war drum
won't let the evil run
won't cower to your wisdom
won't listen to your war drum

beatin' on your war drum
hoping that the war will come
what in the hell you get done
when you're beatin on the war drum

2
you can't tell us why we got to drop the bomb
compromise our advantage are we right or wrong
so sad we got to sing this song
when the whole damn world it won't get along
there's some things that they just ain't telling us
like who it's for and who gets the pay off
paid with the blood of laymen and children
when we miss our mark our boys carry a gun

beatin' on your war drum
hoping that the war will come
what in the hell you get done
when you're beatin on the war drum

beatin' on your war drum
won't let the evil run
won't cower to your wisdom
won't listen to your war drum

biddy bye, bye, you got to say ah say goodbye
never, never see the man alive, biddy say goodbye
biddy bye, bye, bye, you got to say goodbye
when the war drum go and drop it down you got to say goodbye
we ah go say ah say goodbye, last time I see the man alive
we got to say goodbye, you got to say goodbye
when you drop the war drum, got to got to say goodbye
biddy bye, bye, biddy bye, bye, you got to say goodbye

last time you gonna see the man alive I say ya
you got to say I'm gonna hold him tight now say goodbye
biddy bye, bye, bye, you got to got to say goodbye
when you want to drop the bomb say
when the war drum a sound then you got to run around
