Lyrics

I went to the doctor the other day
He said you're doing okay, boy, you ain't doin' great
I said now doc do you have a plan to make me a better man?
But, don't you know where your soul comes from?
You gotta learn if you wanna drum

You're getting too high, boy, you're getting too low
You'd be better off just a taking it slow
And with the power back in your hands
You can be our drummer man
Don't you know where the hits the hits come from?
You gotta learn if you wanna drum

Hey ya!
Don't you know you gotta play
Hey ya!
Don't you know you gotta play-EE-EE-EE

I'm getting my rolls, man, I'm getting my fills
Doing all I can just to make it so real
Now I play 12 hours a day
Just to get that steady pay
You gotta let your freedom run
You gotta learn if you wanna drum
