Mason Jennings - Everyone Loves A Parade Lyrics

Mason Jennings Lyrics

"Everyone Loves A Parade"

Up from my shoulders
You watch the good soldiers
As they go marching
Down Main Street forever
Their bones still fear rockets
Blank stares fill their sockets
Young girls carry pictures of them
In their lockets
Everyone loves a parade
Everyone loves a parade

Fourth of July
Not a cloud in the sky
Crowds on the streets
With my little boy and I
Leash on the pup
Juice in the cup
What do you want to be
When you grow up
What do you want to be
When you grow

Up from my shoulders
You watch the good soldiers
As they go marching
Down Main Street forever
This world's rearranging
The system is changing
There are no more enemies
Fit for engaging
Everyone loves a parade
Everyone loves a parade

The glaciers are gone
Like the buffalo are gone
A voice in my head
Says we must carry on
Til humanity's eyes
Can see past gospel lies
What will we want to be
When we grow wise
What will we want to be
When we grow wise

Up from my shoulders
You watch the good soldiers
As they go marching
Down Main Street forever
My heart's in a bubble
My head's filled with trouble
My life's dropping down towards
The drain on the double
Everyone loves a charade
So many ways we're afraid
Always a deal to be made
Everyone loves
Everyone loves
Everyone love a parade
