[Chorus]
There's a rhythm under the song
And it beats for the old and the young
And it pounds in the back of the sun
It's the sound of one drummer, one drum

[Verse 1]
There's a rhythm, it's subtle, yet strong
And it moves all the wallflowers on
To the dance floor that holds everyone
To the sound of one drummer, one drum

[Bridge]
Dance, for the time marches on
Off to a war that can never be won
To the heartbeat of drums

[Verse 2]
There's a rhythm, not cruel or kind
And though you feel that it's left you behind
Is it justice or you that is blind
When you don't see it coming, how come?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
There's a rhythm under the song
And it beats for the old and the young
And it pounds in the back of the sun
It's the sound of one drummer, one drum
[Outro]
La, da-da-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la
Mm-mm-mm-mm
