Because We Do

As the world starts to fade
I'll turn on the Rose Parade
Watch my troubles float away as the petals fly

I could march to my own drum
But I'm twiddling my thumbs
And we like it because we do

At school I learn to pray
And to keep my thoughts at bay
Follow leaders, follow orders
Follow other people's dreams

This is where it all began
Here I sit when I should stand
And we like it because we do
And we like it because we do

The greatest prize to behold
It is life it can't be sold
But my eyes are set on gold

They mock us when they sing
So we trade them for a ring

And we like it because we do
And we like it because we do
And we like it because we do

As the world starts to fade
I'll turn on the Rose Parade
Watch my troubles float away as the petals fly
