I would turn on the TV but it’s so embarrassing To see all the other people I don’t know what they mean
And it was magic at first when they spoke without sound
But now this world is gonna hurt you better turn that thing down
Turn it around
“It wasn’t me”, says the boy with the gun “Sure I pulled the trigger but it needed to be done Cause life’s been killing me ever since it begun You cant blame me cause I’m too young”
“You can’t blame me sure the killer was my son But I didn’t teach him to pull the trigger of the gun It’s the killing on this TV screen You cant blame me its those images he seen”
Well “You can’t blame me”, says the media man Well “I wasn’t the one who came up with the plan I just point my camera at what the people want to see. Man it’s a two way mirror and you cant blame me”
“You can’t blame me”, says the singer of the song Or the maker of the movie which he based his life on. “It’s only entertainment and as anyone can see The smoke machines and makeup and you cant fool me”
It was you it was me it was every man We’ve all got the blood on our hands We only receive what we demand And if we want hell then hells what well have
And I would turn on the TV But it’s so embarrassing To see all the other people I don’t even know what they mean And it was magic at first But let everyone down And now this world is gonna hurt You better turn it around
It is said that when Creator was giving a place for all the spirits to dwell who would be taking part in the habitant of Mother Earth, there came a sound a loud BOOM, from off in the distance.
As Creator listened, the sound kept coming closer and closer until it finally it was right in front of Creator. “Who are you?” asked Creator. “I am the spirit of the drum” was the reply. I have come here to ask you to allow me to take part in this wonderful thing.” “How will you take part?” Creator questioned.” I would like to accompany the singing of the people. When they sing from their hearts, I will sing as though I was the heartbeat of Mother Earth. In that way, all creation will sing in harmony.” Creator granted the request, and from then on, the drum accompanied the people’s voices.
Throughout all of the indigenous peoples of the world, the drum is the center of all songs. It is the catalyst for the spirit of the songs to rise up to the Creator so that the prayers in those songs reach where they were meant to go.
At all times, the sound of the drum brings completeness, awe, excitement, solemnity, strength, courage, and fulfillment to the songs. It is Mother’s heartbeat giving her approval to those living upon her. It draws the eagle to it, who carries the message to Creator. It changes people’s lives.
