|
There is a place that has no name |
|
No sound of laughter, no children playing |
|
It's not on the map but it's there just the same |
|
The places that built the toys for the nuclear game |
|
Sascha digs the food in the snow |
|
It fills the gaps where his pension don't go |
|
He spent his life making weapons of war |
|
Times have changed |
|
They don't need him no more |
|
Beat the drum |
|
Beat the drum |
|
Since Joseph built his iron wall |
|
And America raced for the moon |
|
We wasted our breath, on the science of death |
|
It was what we were told we must do |
|
A lethal quest to show who's best |
|
What on Earth did it prove? |
|
I don't know |
|
Beat the drum |
|
Like an army |
|
You've got the voice |
|
So state your choice |
|
Beat the drum |
|
Beat it loudly |
|
You have nothing to lose |
|
Beat the drum |
|
Go your own way |
|
Just speak your mind |
|
Don't follow blindly |
|
Beat the drum |
|
Beat it proudly |
|
Every step of the way |
|
In every time and every place |
|
There are those who believe they must lead |
|
Their ambition is used as a hiding place |
|
For selfish and terrible deeds |
|
Don't let them make the same mistakes again |
|
It's their role |
|
To take control |
|
Beat the drum |
|
Like an army |
|
You've got the voice |
|
So state your choice |
|
Beat the drum |
|
Beat it loudly |
|
You have nothing to lose |
|
Beat the drum |
|
Go your own way |
|
Just speak your mind |
|
Don't follow blindly |
|
Beat the drum |
|
Beat it proudly |
|
Every step of the way |
|
Beat the drum |
|
Like an army |
|
Armed with your pride |
|
You'll turn the tide |
|
Beat the drum |
|
Beat it loudly |
|
Let them know where you stand |
|
Beat the drum |
|
Raise the standard |
|
A coloured rag |
|
Becomes your flag |
|
Beat the drum |
|
Beat it proudly |
|
Cause the world's in your hand |
|
Go on, beat the drum |
|
Go on, beat the drum |
|
Even though we know the score |
|
There's always those who'd lead us into another war |
|
Though we might hope this story's through |
|
Beware of those who claim to know what's best for you |
