Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You asked me to come down and watch the parade
To march down the street like the Duracell Bunny
But we get away form the cavalcade
Throwing out candy that looks like money
[Verse 2]
To people passing by
That all seem to be going the other way
[Verse 3]
So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
[Verse 4]
Tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar
People were shouting and pushing and saying
They'd traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar
Ridiculous marching band started playing
[Verse 5]
Got me singing along
With some half hearted victory song
[Verse 6]
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?
[Verse 7]
Trumpet has obviously been drinking
'Cause he's fucking up even the simplest lines
You'd say its a sight that's quite worth seeing
It's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine
[Verse 8]
When they clean the street
I'll be the only shit that's left behind
[Verse 9]
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?
