Paroles de Parade

The crowd is looking drowned and a mother in tears There are flip-flapping 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 The boys are coming back When the boys are coming back in coffins 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 The boys are coming back 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 government Flag him down, rest in peace What peace do you mean when the boys are coming back The boys are coming back When the boys are coming back in coffins
