The Fiddle and the Drum
And so once againMy dear Johnny my dear friendAnd so once again you are fightin' us allAnd when I ask you whyYou raise your sticks and cry, and I fallOh, my friendHow did you comeTo trade the fiddle for the drumYou say I have turnedLike the enemies you've earnedBut I can rememberAll the good things you areAnd so I ask you pleaseCan I help you find the peace and the starOh, my friendWhat time is thisTo trade the handshake for the fistAnd so once againOh, America my friendAnd so once againYou are fighting us allAnd when we ask you whyYou raise your sticks and cry and we fallOh, my friendSongtexteHow did you comeTo trade the fiddle for the drumYou say we have turnedLike the enemies you've earnedBut we can rememberAll the good things you areAnd so we ask you pleaseCan we help you find the peace and the starOh, my friendWe have all comeTo fear the beating of your drum
