The Fiddle And The Drum Lyrics
And so once again
My dear Johnny my dear friend
And so once again you are fightin' us all
And when I ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall
Oh, my friend
How did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum
You say I have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But I can remember
All the good things you are
And so I ask you please
Can I help you find the peace and the star
Oh, my friend
What time is this
To trade the handshake for the fist
And so once again
Oh, America my friend
And so once again
You are fighting us all
And when we ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry and we fall
Oh, my friend
How did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum
You say we have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But we can remember
All the good things you are
And so we ask you please
Can we help you find the peace and the star
Oh my friend
We have all come
To fear the beating of your drum
I listened to this a lot when the war first started. It's amazing how applicable it is even now.

has anyone listened to A Perfect Circle's version? It's so cool and creepy. Like a-girl said, it's really appropriate for these screwed up modern times.
it is a sign of the times! this is the 99% able to convince 99% of cops to not arrest them... this is rhythm of the heart... this is choir music for Inspiring Peace.

The lyrics are genius!
there is heavenly math in the language of this song... it is THE song to sing to an officer of lesser laws.

yeah but A Perfect Circle sucks. this song is so beautiful...
c'mon now... you're going to say a thing "sucks" when commenting on a song about unifying in peace? oh, my friend, what time is this?
