Rose Parade (Live)

You asked me to come down and watch the parade
To march down the street like the Duracell bunny
A weekend away from the calvalcade
Throwing out candy that looks like money
To people passing by that all seem to be going the other way

Said won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?

Tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar
People were talking and shouting and pushing and saying
I traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar
Ridiculous marching band started playing
Got me singing along to some halfhearted victory song

Won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
Oh, won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
Oh, won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?

The trumpet has obviously been drinking
'Cause he's fucking up even the simplest lines
I'd say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing
It's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine
When they clean the street, I'll be the only shit that's left behind

Won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
Won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
Oh, won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
