    Story Behind the Song
    Charlie wrote this for our last EP. A biting paean to the enticing nature of violence and war in society, and how it sucks up young men only to chew them up and spit them out. The lyrics are killer, and Bill Gerstel plays a great vacuum hose at the beginning and end that just makes the song.

    music, words: Charlie
    Charlie: guitars, lead vocals
    Scott: bass, background vocals
    Bill: drums and hose

    Lyrics
    young and old they come
    tell the fields and the arms that lost them
    theyre with the drum

    my muscles jumped and my blood hummed
    my bones danced and my feet would run
    my heart was a bird inside
    the skin on me was glad to be alive
    when I heard the drum
    when I heard the drum
    when I heard the drum
    when I heard the drum

    once I was proud to march in line
    I found the fire pure enough to blind
    I was a bullet in the brotherhood of the gun
    where pain is sweet, its price forgotten
    tomorrow never comes
    when your head is filled
    with the echo of the drum
    with the echo of the drum
    with the echo of the drum
    with the echo of the drum
    with the echo of the drum

    give a man an order and hes happy to obey
    give him a shovel and he digs a grave
    in the land Im calling from
    no voice speaks louder than the drum

    I was of the net as the fish is of the sea
    I was a free man but I loved the chains in me
    self-sacrifice became my life
    sharp and sweet but it cuts like a knife
    hard and gray as the blade youve become
    dead as steel but
    your heart beats like a drum
    your heart beats like a drum
    your heart beats like a drum
    your heart beats like a drum
