| Lyrics: | Hup,two,three,four,marching down the street
Rolling of the drums and the trampin' of the
feet
General salutes and mothers wave and weep
Here comes the big parade
Don't be
afraid
Price is paid
One more parade
So young, so strong, so ready for the
war
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
All march together everybody looks the
same
So there's no one you can blame
Don't be ashamed
Light the flame
One more
parade
Listen for the sound and listen for the noise
Listen for the thunder of the
marching boys
A few years ago their guns were only toys
Here comes the big parade
Don't
be afraid
Price is paid
One more parade
So young, so strong, so ready for the
war
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
All march together, everybody looks the
same
So there's no one you can blame
Don't be ashamed, light the flame
One more
parade
Medals on their coats and guns in their hands
Trained to kill as they're trained
to stand
10,000 ears need only one command
Here comes the big parade
Don't be
afraid
Price is paid
One more parade
So young, so strong, so ready for the
war
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore
All march together, everybody looks the
same
So there's no one you can blame
Don't be ashamed
Light the flame
One more
parade
Cold hard stares on faces so proud
Kisses from the girls and cheers from the
crowd
And the widows from the last war cry into their shrouds
Here comes the big
parade
Don't be afraid, price is paid
Don't be ashamed, war's a game
World in
flames
So start the parade -
One More Parade
