Story Behind the Song
Based on a newspaper story about a donkey that was being exploited to perform labour beyond its capabilities, entitled "Keep on beating the drums of hate".
Lyrics
You make me sick with your black and white extremes
Every time you speak, you talk shit
A never-ending stream of garbage spewing from your mouth
But all the time you keep beating, never ceasing, always beating
The drums, the drums...
You say they're only words, but you create a world
That infiltrates and expands to fill our heads
You know nothing but you don't exist
And all the time you keep beating, never ceasing, always beating
The drums, the drums...
Beat beat beat ya keep on beating... [drums of hate]
The drums, the drums...
Drums of hate!
