Track 12 on eMOTIVe
A Perfect Circle covering Joni Mitchell’s Fiddle and the Drum, they kept to the same tempo but added a harmony from the rest of the band.
This Version is still an anti-war protest song; but instead of using it for the Vietnam War they used it against the Iraq War.
Fiddle and the Drum Lyrics
[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
And when we ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry, and we fall
Oh, my friend, how did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum?
[Verse 4]
You say we have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But we can remember
All the good things you are
And so, we ask you, please
Can we help you find the peace and the star?
Oh, my friend, we have all come
To fear the beating of your drum
