when a drum beats þarký sözü

is this civilization
is this all we´re gonna be
a helpless united nations
a censored bbc
war in the african nations
hate in the middle east
just a mess of frustration waiting for release
oh no!
when they beat a drum it´s too much to swallow
oh no!
when they beat that drum it just sounds so hollow
i´m not ready to fight, i´m not ready to go
i saw an f-111
beside a kremlin guard
and the magnificent seven
in the printed word
is this a public service
or a civil war
while i sit here nervous waiting for a call
oh no!
when they beat a drum it´s too much to swallow
oh no!
when they beat that drum it just sounds so hollow
i´m not ready to fight, i´m not ready to go
let cities crumble, empires waste
and generals find a resting place
for leaders too will be replaced
if fear and fate come face to face
leave a red sky for night time
know a mother´s love
here now for all time
lose the tyrant´s glove
give the whole of the life lime
on the reaching palm
leave us out of the dead line
for tomorrow´s man
oh no!
when they beat a drum it´s too much to swallow
oh no!
when they beat that drum it just sounds so hollow
i´m not ready to fight, i´m not ready to go
oh no!
when they beat a drum it´s too much to swallow
oh no!
when they beat that drum it just sounds so hollow
i´m not ready to fight, i´m not ready to go
