You were bred for battle

You were bred for war

17 and fearless

A boy no more

Duty above all

Quarter to none

Your fatherland lives

Through the beat of your drum

Drummer boy don't let up

You are a cog in the wheel

Drummer boy you are the beat

In this war of flesh and steel

Chorus:

Bang that drum with all your might

Bang that drum drummer boy

Bang that drum and don't let up

We march to your beat drummer boy

Your drive ferocious

Battling through the night

Against the occupation

For freedom you fight

Your innocence lost

Your youth stripped away

Your molotov is lit

Nothing stands in your way

Drummer boy don't let up

You are a cog in the wheel

Drummer boy you are the beat

In this war of flesh and steel

Chorus

The streets in flames

Of ruble and debris

Your face is blackened

By things you shouldn't see

Yet you battle the odds

No matter the cost

You'd rather die fighting

Than to see it all lost

Drummer boy don't let up

You are a cog in the wheel

Drummer boy you are the beat

In this war of flesh and steel

Chorus
