Lyrics:One More Parade
| One More Parade |
| By: Phil Ochs |
| Year: 1964 |
Hup, two, three, four, marching down the street Rollin' of the drums and the tramping of the feet General salutes and the mothers wave and weep Here comes the big parade Don't be afraid, prices paid One more parade So young, so strong, so ready for the war So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore All march together, everybody looks the same So there is no one you can blame Don't be ashamed, light the flame One more parade Listen for the sound and listen for the noise Listen for the thunder of the marching boys A few years ago their guns were only toys Here comes the big parade Don't be afraid, prices paid One more parade So young, so strong, so ready for the war So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore All march together, everybody looks the same So there is no one you can blame Don't be ashamed, light the flame One more parade Medals on their coats and guns in their hands Trained to kill as they're trained to stand Ten thousand ears need only one command Here comes the big parade Don't be afraid, prices paid Don't be ashamed, war's a game World's in flames, so start the parade |
