Break back beat of the funky drummer,
Ridging the necks of the mountains across Yosemite,
The crumbling of the biscuit clouds on a thick portion of cheese Hollywood,
The arrows of poison into the war field between this country and that,
Bless those who live, remember all those who die,
And look towards the one who is yet to be born,
And may never emerge,
The woman,
That is her,
On Nelson's column now,
Soon on Oxford Street,
But most importantly,
Out there,
In all of your hearts,
And in the core of the Earth,
And the core of civilization,
And the core of power,
Yet not giving in to power,
And dieing before she finally breaks,
The woman,
That is her,
A funky drummer,
A rocky beat over the world.
