Lucy Wainwright Roche – Snare Drum

Lucy Wainwright Roche – Snare Drum Lyrics

Artist: Lucy Wainwright Roche
Song: 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
