lyrics

keep beating on your drums
touch somebody's ear
just a lick of wine
then you squeeze in tight
you don't force a note
your voice so thin and easy
you don't even try to come off so wise

i put a foot down
but i can't raise a fist to fight
so maybe i'll shut up just to try something new
with all my blood in my shoes
a head so light
dead on the ground

keep beating on your drums
beat 'em 'til you bleed
until it makes you cry
you broke them
you're stompin' down so hard
your shins will rip to splinters if you even start movin'
i got a head so light
i got a gut so heavy like a sock of dimes
if i could stand i would reach you
you give it four hard years
you were never once hot shit and you're still not, my son
just leave it

i put a foot down
but i can't raise a fist to fight
so maybe i'll shut up
just to try something' new
with all my blood in my shoes
there am I, honey
dead on the ground
