To the Beat of the Drum

Ester Faye

Chew you up and spit you out
Leave my ashes on the ground
Pick them up and pay with doubts′Cause money trees are fantasies I cloud

And I'll sacrifice the broken
In my arcade of human tokens
I′ll puppeteer and mould them
They'll do what I've told them
But the only way they′ll come
Is if you dance to the beat of the drum

La la, la la (To the beat of... beat of...)
La la, la la
La la, la la (To the beat of... beat of...)
La la, la la

Pull up weeds to feed the crowds
They want more but they scream and shout
Suffered at my hand no doubt
Their bullshit thoughts and prayers they are my pay out

And I′ll sacrifice the broken
In my arcade of human tokens
I'll puppeteer and mould them
They′ll do what I've told them
But the only way they′ll come
Is if you dance to the beat of the drum

La la, la la (To the beat of... beat of...)
La la, la la
La la, la la (To the beat of... beat of...)
La la, la la

The lives we take
The lies we make
Cover up the sin
For what we break
There's no mistake
You all let us in

And I′ll sacrifice the broken
In my arcade of human tokens
I'll puppeteer and mould them
They'll do what I′ve told them
No one cares ′bout what you've done
When you dance to the beat of the drum

La la, la la

And they persecute the wrong
And they all sing along

La la, la la (To the beat of... beat of...)
La la, la la
La la, la la (To the beat of... beat of...)
La la, la la

And they won′t notice when you're gone
′Cause they dance to the beat of my drum
