Thread Name: Lyr Req: Protest Songs of the Sixties
Subject: Lyr Add: LET'S LAY DOWN OUR DRUMS
The following song was written in 1967. It will most probably (95% probability) be released by another singer in the next few months. Funny that a song 40 years old may still apply to some situations.
"Let's Lay Down Our Drums"
The truth's gotten lost it's been Strangled and tossed by the noise and Confusion of battle that's Left it so rattled it's Poison The future must think that barbarians come Let's lay down our drums
Soldiers mark time to the Criminal mind when they Pass by Our governors smile 'cause The Nuremberg Trials never Ask why Our homicide police can't convict anyone Let's lay down our drums
BRIDGE It's useless political talk That's kept everybody strung It's evident both sides should stop They already deserve to be hung Let's lay down our drums
Fools get upset without Thought they forget about Reason So the human who marches is Slandered by charges of Treason You know songs of this kind should not need to be sung Let's lay down our drums Let's lay down our drums
