9-5, 7-3, 10-6, the drum beat starts,
Starts with your alarm clock Monday through Friday,
Get up, brush up, hurry up,
Routine set to the beat of the drum,
Get to work, do your task, get paid,
All to the beat of the drum,
One day you actually hear it,
You hear the drum for the first time,
"What am I doing?"
What does the drum mean to you?
And when you hear it, will you change what you're doing,
Or continue like a drone to that beat?
Despite the drum, despite that beat,
You still have the choice to follow it or not,
To continue on or start something new,
A new drum and a new beat.
