lirik lagu rod macdonald - metal drums

[verse 1]
from the time he was a kid
mark o’donnell and his buddies would
play in the pasture behind their neighborhood
there were acres of vacant land
and they played as only children can
ooh, by the pasture

[verse 2]
out in the long tall grass
metal drums were lying in the broken glass
the kids would play with the stuff inside them
they’d get in and around
end up spinning around in the summer ground
ooh, in the pasture

[chorus]
ooh, they were playing with the metal drums
ah, banging on the mеtal drums now
ooh, beat that metal drum a little fastеr

[verse 3]
now in the town of holbrook, mass
you’re lucky if you get a chance
to get a good job and make a few bucks
and it’s baird and mcclair
they run that chemical plant way down there
ooh, by the pasture
[chorus]
ooh, they were playing with the metal drums
ah, banging on the metal drums now
ooh, beat that metal drum a little faster

[verse 4]
joanne o’donnell had five kids
every one but one of them kids got sick
she was hard pressed for answers
there was a street on the other side of town
where all the doctors found
every other woman died of cancer

[chorus]
ooh, they were playing with the metal drums
ah, banging on the metal drums now
ooh, beat that metal drum a little faster

[bridge]
news broke like lightning across a red~hot sky
in the blue tv light joanne o’donnell cried
seemed like a kiss of death was hanging in the air
the whole town found out they’d been poisoned for years

[guitar solo]
[fiddle solo]

[verse 5]
the environmental plan
put the site on the list of the big top ten
to the tune of sixty~three million
thanks to the women and the wives
there’s a chain link fence up there about eight feet high
but that won’t bring back their children

[verse 6]
as for baird and mcclair
all the soil from the top to the topsoil down
was ruined by the b~st~rds
thanks to the corporate mind
they protected their assets—they’re doing fine
so much for the holbrook disaster

[chorus]
ooh, they were playing with the metal drums
ah, they were banging on the metal drums now
ooh, beat that metal drum a little faster
ooh, they were playing with the metal drums
ah, banging on the metal drums now
ooh, beat that metal drum a little faster
come on, beat that metal drum a little faster
come on, beat that metal drum a little faster
[guitar solo]

[chorus]
ooh, they were playing with the metal drums
ah, banging on the metal drums now
ooh, beat that metal drum a little faster
come on, beat that metal drum a little faster
mmm, beat that metal drum a little faster boys
ooh, come on, beat that metal drum a little faster
beat that metal drum a little faster boys

[outro]
thank you
