Alphaville
"Parade"

the crowd is looking drownedand a mother in tearsthere are flipflapping flags in the silenceand a national anthem's a blues in these days
flag him down, rest in peacewhat peace do you mean when the boys are coming back
he's live on tvhe's dead as a hero can bebut he didn't die for nothing, my dearthe video of his death is travelling the world
flag him down, rest in peacewhat peace do you mean when the boys are coming backin coffins
way back in the crowda girl says goodbye to a boyto a boy who's parading to heavenand she puts all the blame on the gouvernment
he's live on tvdead as a hero can be...when the boys are parading to heaven, my friendput all the blame on youon you
