I can't bear the beat of a different drum It holds me down and won't help me none When the heat begins to fade I know it's the time for which I've been made My blood it runs, cold in the vein I'm left empty-handed with every rhythm change Autumn Do what you need
I've had my fill Summer, please concede Autumn Hold your tongue, lose your leaves Winter's coming give me bare trees I can't bear the beat of a different drum It holds me down it won't help me none I can't bear the beat of a different drum
