About

Rael now finds himself on the floor of a factory and is given a tour of the area by a woman, where he watches people being processed like packages. He spots old members of his New York City gang, and also his brother, John, with the number “9” stamped on his forehead.

The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging Lyrics

[Intro]
"It's the last great adventure left to mankind!"
Screams a drooping lady offering her dream dolls
At less than extortionate prices
And as the notes and coins are taken out
I'm taken in to the factory floor

[Chorus]
For the grand parade of lifeless packaging
All ready to use
The grand parade of lifeless packaging
I just need a fuse

[Verse 1]
Got people stocked in every shade
They must be doing well with trade
Stamped, addressed, in odd fatality
That evens out their personality
With profit potential marked by a sign
I can recognize some of the production line
No bite at all in labor bondage
Just wrinkled wrappers on human bandage

[Chorus]
The grand parade of lifeless packaging
All ready to use
It's the grand parade of lifeless packaging
I just need a fuse

[Verse 2]
The hall runs like clockwork
Their hands mark out the time
Empty in their fullness
Like a frozen pantomime
Everyone's a sales representative
Wearing slogans in their shrine
Dishing out failsafe superlatives
Brother John is number nine

[Chorus]
The grand parade of lifeless packaging
All ready to use
It's the grand parade of lifeless packaging
I just need a fuse

[Verse 3]
And the décor on the ceiling
Has planned out their future day
I see no sign of free will
So I guess I'll have to pay
Pay my way (Grand parade)
For the grand parade
Oh, it's the grand parade
For the grand parade

[Chorus]
It's the grand parade of lifeless packaging
All ready to use
It's the grand parade of lifeless packaging
I just need a fuse

[Outro]
The grand parade
For the grand parade
The grand parade
Grand parade
