I Play the Drums Lyrics

I PLAY THE DRUMS

I hate my job
Really think this time I"m gonna quit

At home my mom and pop are fighting

I get so tired of it

Yeah, and it"s anything but fun

But instead of reaching for my gun

I play the drums

I play the drums

I got a pretty little baby now

She just turned 19

She lives across town

Ten minutes in my machine

But my motor won"t even hum

My gas gauge says that I got none

I play the drums
I play the drums

Instead of beating on my little brother"s face

I play the drums

Instead of taking an axe to the whole d*** place

I play the drums

When I hate everyone

Instead of going for my gun

I play the drums

My neighbors are buggin"

I hear "em bangin" on the wall
They can bang and scream all day

I don"t care at all

Cause they"ll live to see the morning sun

Cause instead of going for my gun

I play the drums

I play the drums

I play the drums

I play the drums

I play the drums

They"ll live to see the morning sun

I play the drums
