lyrics

our truck lumbered down the desert road
shotguns in the back, ready to load
we took turns firing round after round
with earplugs intercepting all the sound

it's like we could touch things a hundred yards away
we laughed with every hit that day

but at the end of the run
I put down the gun and picked up a drum

my drum will extend a welcome hand
don't run in fear come hear the band
it won't shoot bullets down at your feet
the dancing in here is just with the beat

you can still touch things a hundred yards away
just take a stick and start to play

let's not end all the fun
put down the gun and pick up a drum

oohhh freedom
I just want freedom to play my drum
