Rose Parade

They asked me to come down and watch the parade

To march down the street like the Duracell bunny

With a wink and a wave from the cavalcade

Throwing out candy that looks like money

To people passing by that all seem to be going the other way

Said won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?

Tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar

People were shouting and pushing and saying

Traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar

Ridiculous marching band started playing

Got me singing along with some half-hearted victory song

Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

The trumpet has obviously been drinking

'Cos he's fucking up even the simplest lines

They say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing

It's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine

When the clean the streets I'll be the only shit that's left behind

Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
