Beat the Drum
Sherman rolled through Vicksburg with a Devil at the wheel
Burning and a killing anything he couldn't steal
Charleston to Atlanta razed it all down to a slum
The gates of hell were opened when the soldiers beat the drum
Beat the drum
Now the revolution it came and went in a hundred years
The working class broke their backs for crooks and profiteers
They sold our birthright overseas and told us that we won
Then sent us there to take it back and beat that awe full drum
Beat the drum beat the drum hallelujah Hannah watch em run
Beat the drum beat the drum hallelujah Hannah watch em run
And beat the drum
Now the king of death and darkness said unto his men of power
You know I have been too and fro seeking to devour
The whole of this old earth is mine let's go have some fun
Start the war machine and I myself will beat the drum
Beat the drum beat the drum hallelujah Hannah watch em run
Beat the drum beat the drum pass the ammunition and the rum
Beat the drum beat the drum hallelujah Hannah watch em run
Beat the drum beat the drum pass the ammunition and rum
Burning and a killing anything he couldn't steal
Charleston to Atlanta razed it all down to a slum
The gates of hell were opened when the soldiers beat the drum
Beat the drum
Now the revolution it came and went in a hundred years
The working class broke their backs for crooks and profiteers
They sold our birthright overseas and told us that we won
Then sent us there to take it back and beat that awe full drum
Beat the drum beat the drum hallelujah Hannah watch em run
Beat the drum beat the drum hallelujah Hannah watch em run
And beat the drum
Now the king of death and darkness said unto his men of power
You know I have been too and fro seeking to devour
The whole of this old earth is mine let's go have some fun
Start the war machine and I myself will beat the drum
Beat the drum beat the drum hallelujah Hannah watch em run
Beat the drum beat the drum pass the ammunition and the rum
Beat the drum beat the drum hallelujah Hannah watch em run
Beat the drum beat the drum pass the ammunition and rum
