And so once again

My dear Johnny, my dear friend

And so once again you are fighting us all

You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall

Oh, my friend, How did you come?

To trade the fiddle for the drum

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?

To trade the handshake for the fist
