Parade Lyrics - Alphaville

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
