Mark the man
The One who has to be right
so You
and all like You
are wrong
so he can be more right.
His brightness must be express,
you are dark in his eclipse.
Thus, to put off allies
and make foes of friends.
He's the drummer in a one man band.
The one for whom every issue 's a mission
every mission 's a crusade
each crusade 's a war
with him hero of the piece
and Keeper of the Peace.
He is the drummer in a one man band.
He sells himself a disciple
but thinks he 's Messiah.
He claims liberty for him
and lords authority over you.
He is the drummer in a one man band.
He seems forever out of step
for list's only to his own drummer
so he says
then bangs his drum the louder.
He is the drummer in a one man band.
