A Perfect Circle Lyrics: Fiddle And The Drum
And so once again,
My dear Johnny, my dear friend,
And so once again you are fighting us all,
And when I ask you why,
You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall,
Oh, my friend,
How did you come?,
To trade the fiddle for the drum,
You say I have turned,
Like the enemies you've earned,
But I can remember,
All the good things you are,
And so I ask you please,
Can I help you find the peace and the star?,
Oh, my friend,
What time is this?,
To trade the handshake for the fist
And so once again,
Oh, America my friend,
And so once again,
You are fighting us all,
And when we ask you why,
You raise your sticks and cry and we fall,
Oh, my friend,
How did you come,
To trade the fiddle for the drum
You say we have turned,
Like the enemies you've earned,
But we can remember,
All the good things you are,
And so we ask you please,
Can we help you find the peace and the star?,
Oh my friend,
We have all come,
To fear the beating of your drum
some excerpts from interview articles:
"When we came up with the idea of doing a covers record, there was also the question, 'Why are we doing a covers record?' " Howerdel explained. "We wanted to do something that had meaning to us, something worthy of a third record. That's when Maynard had the idea of doing a political record, and right off the bat I thought it was a good idea.
"Actually," he conceded, "it wouldn't have been the first thing I would have picked, but with the world climate the way it is, and our disgust with all of that, it seemed like a good time to communicate some sort of message."
Prefacing it all is a whispered recitation of "Annihilation" by early '80s punk band Crucifix, setting the tone for what follows with frightening effect: "Reject the system dictating the norms/ From dehumanization to arms production to hasten this nation towards its destruction," Keenan says in a hushed tone. "It's your choice: peace or annihilation."
i thought some here could make use of a cd like this.
