Snare Drum Lyrics – Lucy Wainwright Roche
Singer: Lucy Wainwright Roche
Title: Snare Drum
The morning bus will come to take you down
The country road to the farthest side of town
Later on the field, behind the school it will be bright
When you play a snare drum solo
In the Friday football light
The station on the corner has fired another clerk
But the strike is over and the teachers are back to work
The boy next door has gone to war
He’s the next in a five-year fight
And you’ll play a snare drum solo
In the Friday football light
Little man, little man
Are you the heir to an empty hand?
Oh, no one is sure what we’ll be fighting for next
Little boy, little boy
Are you the heir to a plastic toy?
“With hair like that, you know nobody can see your eyes”
You’ve heard it from your mother
If once, then a thousand times
You like it long, freedom belongs
To the red, the blue, the white
And you’ll play a snare drum solo
In the Friday football light
The jokes you hear, well who knows what they mean
There are the kids at school and the kids behind the screen
At home at night your parents fight
While while neither one is right
You’ll play a snare drum solo
In the Friday football light
Little man, little man
Are you the heir to an empty hand?
Oh, no one is sure what we’ll be fighting for next
Little boy, little boy
Are you the heir to a plastic toy?
Do you know who you are or how you’ll know?
You laid in bed last night and listened
For the season’s first snow
Upon the roof you’ll tell the truth, but for tonight
You’ll play a snare drum solo
In the Friday football light
You’ll play a snare drum solo
In the Friday football light
