One More ParadePhil OchsWritten by Phil Ochs and Bob GibsonHup, two, three, four, marchin' down the streetRollin' of the drums and the trampin' of the feetGeneral salutes and the mothers wave and weepHere comes the big paradeDon't be afraid, price is paidOne more parade CHORUS So young, so strong, so ready for the war So willin' to go an' die upon a foreign shore All march together, everybody looks the same So there is no one you can blame Don't be ashamed, light the flame One more paradeListen for the sound and listen for the noiseListen for the thunder of the marching boysFew years ago their guns were only toysHere comes the big paradeDon't be afraid, price is paidOne more parade CHORUSMedals on their coats and guns in their handsTrained to kill as they're trained to standTen thousand ears need only one commandHere comes the big paradeDon't be afraid, price is paidOne more parade CHORUSCold hard stares on faces so proudKisses from the girls and cheers from the crowdAnd the widows from the last war cry into their shroudsHere comes the big paradeDon't be afraid, price is paidDon't be ashamed, war's a gameWorld in flamesSo start the parade!!
