The Drums of War |
| 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? |
