[Verse 1]
I went to see the preacher
To teach me how to pray
He looked at me and smiled
Then that preacher turned away
Said, "If you want to tell him something
You ain't gotta fold your hands
Say it with your heart, your soul and believe it
And I'll say, Amen"
[Chorus]
Bang a drum for the sinners
Bang a drum for his sins
Bang a drum for the losers
And those who win
Bang a drum, bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
Bang a drum for yourself, son
And a drum for me
[Verse 2]
Well, I called upon my brother
Just the other day
He said, "Jon, I'm gonna die
If I don't start to live again
I work each day and night like clockwork
Just tryin' to make ends meet
Well, I could kick this bad world's ass
If I could just get on my feet"
