The Drums Of War Lyrics - Time The Conqueror - Jackson Browne

Roll out the drums, roll out the drums 

Roll out the drums of war 

Roll out, roll out, roll out the drums 

Roll out the drums of war 

Roll out the drums of war 

Roll up the cover of the killing floor 

Roll out the drums of war 

And let's speak of things worth fighting for 

Roll out the drums of war 

Roll out the drums of war 

Roll out the drums of war 

Roll out the drums of war 

But time comes when everything 

You ever thought you knew 

Comes crashing down and 

Flames rise up in front of you

Roll out the drums, roll out the drums 

Roll out the drums of war 

Roll out, roll out, roll out the drums 

Roll out the drums of war 

Roll out the drums of war 

Roll back the freedoms that we struggled for 

What were those freedoms for? 

Let's not talk about it any more 

Roll out the drums of war 

Roll out the drums of war 

Roll out the drums of war 

Roll out the drums of war 

If you ever want to even out the score 

Whatever you believe the necessary course to be 

Depends on who you trust to identify the enemy

Who beats the drums for war? 

Even before peace is lost 

Who are the profits for? 

Who are they who bear the cost 

When a country takes the low road to war? 

Who gives the orders, orders to torture? 

Who gets to no bid contract the future? 

Who lies, then bombs, then calls it an error? 

Who makes a fortune from fighting terror? 

Who is the enemy, trying to crush us? 

Who is the enemy of truth and justice? 

Who is the enemy of peace and freedom? 

Where are the courts, now when we need them? 

Why is impeachment not on the table? 

We better stop them while we are able 

Roll out the drums of war 

Roll out the drums of war 

Roll out the drums of war 

Roll out the drums of war 

If you know what your freedom's for 

(Roll out the drums of war) 

Whatever you believe, the necessary course to be 

Depends on who you trust to identify the enemy 

Who took this country to war 

Long before the peace was lost? 

Who are the profits for? 

And who are they who bear the cost 

Who lay down their lives? 

Who will live with the sacrifice 

Of our best and brightest hopes 

The flower of our youth 

Of freedom and the truth?
