People Speak, The movie - Drums Of War lyrics

rate me

Jackson Browne, Kevin McCormick, Mark Goldenberg, Mauricio Lewak & Jeff Young<br>

<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>
