lyrics

The Ghost Parade


They tell you that you’re on top of the food chain
The king of hearts in the supremacy’s ball game
They make you think that white is a colour (ha!)
They give you TV and let you heckle and holler
But every time is once too late

They tell you, sure, real life is “the riches”
They throw you phony BMW bitches
They show you that their life on the islands
Is way cooler than your murky apartment
And laugh their asses off at your grave
The Ghost Parade

The Ghost Parade
The Ghost Parade
The Ghost Parade
(ha!)

They carve their names into your souls as they kill you
Brand after brand until they’ve sucked you and drained you
If they could, they’d surely stop evolution
They assure you: “You don’t need revolution!”
But every time is once too late, and

Once in a while, when you threaten with violence
They say you matter and they throw some elections
A cruise missile or a lovely crusade
But it’s you that they’re bloody well trying to invade
Entertainment right until you fade
The Ghost Parade

The Ghost Parade
The Ghost Parade
The Ghost Parade

They’ll be smiling when they twist the blade
The Ghost Parade
