Song information

Title: Parade
Artist: Alphaville
Album: Prostitute

The crowd is looking drowned

And a mother in tears

There are flipflapping flags in the silence

And a national anthem's a blues in these days



Flag him down, rest in peace

What peace do you mean when the boys are coming back



He's live on tv

He's dead as a hero can be

But he didn't die for nothing, my dear

The video of his death is travelling the world



Flag him down, rest in peace

What peace do you mean when the boys are coming back

In coffins



Way back in the crowd

A girl says goodbye to a boy

To a boy who's parading to heaven

And she puts all the blame on the gouvernment



He's live on tv

Dead as a hero can be

...when the boys are parading to heaven, my friend

Put all the blame on you

On you









Echolette/1993
