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