Linda Perry - Bang The Drum lyrics

One day we'll run away Build a house made of straw and clay Worship every moonlit night While we bang upon the drum Plant seeds to grow the trees That will supply the needs To raise a wall of segregation While we bang upon the drum A social enemy has prayed upon thy faith A loss of dignity Is getting in thy way Real soon the sand dunes Will blow across every afternoon Blinding us with a grain of salt As we bang upon the drum We'll plant our feet in land Far surpa**ing machines of man Thanking mother for this revelation While we bang upon the drum A common legacy Has graced me with new faith A needle and a thread Has woven my new fate One day in the afternoon One day in the afternoon One day we'll run away Build a house made of straw and clay Worship every moonlit night As we bang upon the drum A social enemy has prayed upon thy faith A loss of dignity is getting in thy way One day in the afternoon One day in the afternoon
