Lyrics for Sloth

Just a roll, just a roll Just a roll on your drum Just a roll, just a roll And the war has begun Now the right thing's the wrong thing No more excuses to come Just one step at a time And the war has begun Just a roll, just a roll Just a roll on your drum Just a roll, just a roll And the war has begun She's run away, she's run away And she ran so bitterly Now call to your colors, friend Don't you call to me Just a roll, just a roll Just a roll on your drum Just a roll, just a roll And the war has begun Don't you cry, don't you cry Don't you cry upon the sea Don't you cry, don't you cry For your lady and me Just a roll, just a roll Just a roll on your drum Just a roll, just a roll And the war has begun Just a roll, just a roll Just a roll on your drum Just a roll, just a roll And the war has begun
