joni mitchell, covered by a perfect circle

i'm starting to become disappointed in A Perfect Circle... the two songs they have that I really like are covers of Joni Mitchell and the Beatles. is their whole album cover songs?? bah.

and so once again
my dear Johnny, my dear friend
and so once again you are fighting us all
and when I ask you why
you raise your sticks and cry, and I fall
oh, my friend, how did you come to trade the fiddle for the drum?

you say I have turned like the enemies you've earned
but I can remember all the good things you are
and so I ask you please
can I help you find the peace and the star?
oh, my friend, what time is this to trade the handshake for the fist?

and so once again
oh, america, my friend
and so once again you are fighting us all
and when we ask you why
you raise your sticks and cry and we fall
oh, my friend, how did you come to trade the fiddle for the drum?

you say we have turned like the enemies you've earned
but we can remember all the good things you are
and so we ask you please
can we help you find the peace and the star?
oh my friend, we have all come to fear the beating of your drum.
