I Play the Drums Songtext
von The Del-Lords

I hate my job, really think this time I′m going to quit
At home, my mom and pop are fighting, I'm getting so tired of it
Yeah, and it′s anything but fun, but instead of reaching for my gun
I play the drums, I play the drums

I got a pretty little baby now, she just turned nineteen
She lives across town, ten minutes in my machine
And the motor won't even hum, my gas gauge says that I got none
I play the drums, I play the drums


Instead of beating on my little brother's face, I play the drums (Ooh)
Instead of taking an axe to the whole
Damn place, I play the drums (Woo-woo)
Yeah, when I hate everyone, instead of going for my gun
I play the drums (Ooh), I play the drums (Woo-woo)
Woo, ooh

Yeah
Aw, come on, boys

My neighbors start bugging, I hear ′em banging on the wall
Well, they can bang and scream all day, I don′t care at all
They live to see the morning sun, '
Cause instead of going for my gun (Ooh)
I play the drums, I play the drums


I play the drums (Ooh), I play the drums (Woo-woo)
I play the drums (Ooh), I play the drums
They live to see the morning sun, instead of going for my gun
I play the drums (Ooh), I play the drums (Woo-woo)
I play the drums
One, two, one, two, three
Ha
