One More Parade

Listen for the sound and listen for the noise
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
A few years ago their guns were only toys
Don't be afraid

So there's no one you can blame
All march together, everybody looks the same
Light the flame
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
So young, so strong, so ready for the war
Don't be afraid
Here comes the big parade
So young, so strong, so ready for the war
General salutes and mothers wave and weep
Price is paid
Don't be ashamed
Kisses from the girls and cheers from the crowd

So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
So there's no one you can blame

Don't be afraid, price is paid
Here comes the big parade
Light the flame
Don't be ashamed, war's a game
One more parade
Listen for the thunder of the marching boys

All march together, everybody looks the same

One more parade

So young, so strong, so ready for the war

One more parade

Trained to kill as they're trained to stand
And the widows from the last war cry into their shrouds
One more parade
One more parade
Here comes the big parade
Don't be afraid

All march together, everybody looks the same
Price is paid

10,000 ears need only one command
Don't be ashamed
One more parade
Cold hard stares on faces so proud
Light the flame
So there's no one you can blame
Here comes the big parade
Medals on their coats and guns in their hands
Price is paid
Don't be ashamed
