Fiddle and the Drum A Perfect Circle

[Verse 1]
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?

[Verse 2]
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?

[Verse 3]
And so, once again
Oh, America, my friend
And so, once again
You are fighting us all
