Alphaville - Parade lyrics

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 d**h 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 Echolette/1993
