The Parade Lyrics

Be calm, be quiet

As your mom walks by

Be calm, be quiet

When your mom walks by

And look at me

And follow my lead...



I'm combing my hair

Putting lotion on my skin

Waving to friends

Hey, it's me again



Be calm, be quiet

As the cop drives by

Stand right there like a poison well

When the cops drive by

And look at me

Leaning against the fence



Playing scratch and win

Lighting a smoke

Nodding to friends

Hey, it's me again



We ditched out the parade

And what was there to commemorate?

And what was left to remember?

Not sure what really happened on that day



Got steel dust in a vial

And anodized tiles

In my pocket

From Tower Two



Be calm, be quiet

As the drones fly by

Look at me, still as a Monterey pine

As the drones fly by

Look at me

And follow my lead...



I'm combing my hair

Lighting a smoke

Playing scratch and win

If they catch me, they catch me

But I'll be running...



We ditched out the parade

And what was there to commemorate?

And what was left to remember?

Not sure what really happened on that day



Got steel dust in a vial

And anodized tiles

In my pocket

From Tower Two



Not sure what really happened on that day
