Fascist Parade

What a surprise
It hit you right in between the eyes
'Ya gotta fall before you can rise
Well you can tape your wrists
You can clench your fists
We'll still blow you to bits
Yeah, it's fair
Come on, who's buying your way into the air
Tell me who got you that smile that you wear
Listen I ain't got all day, suffice it to say that
You're getting your share

Fascist Parade, yesterday
Shot me down in a raid
Keeping up the pace, in a way
Never agreed to the race
Papers played their games
The rumors rained
Now you know my name
It wasn't all in vein, so I'll take the blame
Yes I will

But I won't
Won't live and die for what it's worth
Don't gotta dig for my hole in the earth
You can push me around
You can shake me down
But I won't make a sound
But you will
You'll trade it all for a fancy new cigar
It's always harder to buy what you are
Oh, but you've made it so far, take the shot in the arm
And enjoy being a star

Now you know my name
It wasn't all in vein, so I'll take the blame
Yes I will

Sweet taste on the tongue
Satisfies everyone
Following fate
Let's face it ain't it harder
But it's just so much more fun

Sweet taste on the tongue
Satisfies everyone
Just a taste on the tongue
