Roll out the drums, roll out the drums |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
Roll out, roll out, roll out the drums |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
Roll up the cover of the killing floor |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
And let's speak of things worth fighting for |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
But time comes when everything |
|
You ever thought you knew |
|
Comes crashing down and |
|
Flames rise up in front of you |
|
Roll out the drums, roll out the drums |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
Roll out, roll out, roll out the drums |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
Roll back the freedoms that we struggled for |
|
What were those freedoms for? |
|
Let's not talk about it any more |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
If you ever want to even out the score |
|
Whatever you believe the necessary course to be |
|
Depends on who you trust to identify the enemy |
|
Who beats the drums for war? |
|
Even before peace is lost |
|
Who are the profits for? |
|
Who are they who bear the cost |
|
When a country takes the low road to war? |
|
Who gives the orders, orders to torture? |
|
Who gets to no bid contract the future? |
|
Who lies, then bombs, then calls it an error? |
|
Who makes a fortune from fighting terror? |
|
Who is the enemy, trying to crush us? |
|
Who is the enemy of truth and justice? |
|
Who is the enemy of peace and freedom? |
|
Where are the courts, now when we need them? |
|
Why is impeachment not on the table? |
|
We better stop them while we are able |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
Roll out the drums of war |
|
If you know what your freedom's for(Roll out the drums of war) |
|
Whatever you believe, the necessary course to be |
|
Depends on who you trust to identify the enemy |
|
Who took this country to war |
|
Long before the peace was lost? |
|
Who are the profits for? |
|
And who are they who bear the cost |
|
Who lay down their lives? |
|
Who will live with the sacrifice |
|
Of our best and brightest hopes |
|
The flower of our youth |
|
Of freedom and the truth? |
