The Drum

Bang, Bang the drum
Louder and louder
Overcome the other voices
The other thoughts
The other lives
Overcome the other
Bang, Bang the drum
Amplified and idolized
Is the message
Loud, even if not clear
Its something
Something to believe in?
No time for introspection
Humility or reception
Just another acoustic interjection
Into the clamor for
Noise upon noise
Bang, Bang the drum
Damn the rhythm or the beat
Don’t hear the marching feet
The voices in the street
No sweat, don’t feel the heat
Just Bang, bang the drum
Louder, faster, swept up in the drone
A hypnotic, disembodied tone
Banging, banging – All alone
