You asked me to come down and watch the parade

to march down the street like the Duracell bunny

but we get away from the cavalcade

throwing out candy that looks like money

to people passing by

they'd all seem to be going the other way



So 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

they'd traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar



Ridiculous marching band started playing

got me singing along

with some half-hearted victory song



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



The trumpet has obviously been drinking

cause he's fucking up even the simplest lines

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

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

When they clean the street, I'll be the only shit that's left behind



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