Hometown Hero's Ticker Tape Parade

No-name schoolboy, awful green
Trained, ordained as a mean Marine
Now they can't fuck with the tough young buck
Cradlin' an M-14
Da dat da da
Teach a gook to hold a gun
Serve your year and then you're done
Homeward bound where the boy gets crowned
As Cleveland's new favorite son
At the hometown hero's ticker tape parade
Cotton candy and lemonade
It's a hometown hero's ticker tape parade
Can't get that at the penny parade
Da dat da da, Da dat da dat da da da Main Street blocked all afternoon
A band on hand with a marchin' tune
Your name is wailed
The blimp's unveiled
Your face on a big balloon
Da dat da da
Watchin' busty blondes compete (Ain't that sweet)
Drawin' claws like cats in heat (Oooh yeah)
Let 'em fight to spend the night
And stain up that nice white sheet (Yeah!)
At the hometown hero's ticker tape parade
Tellin' tales of a brave brigade
A hometown hero's ticker tape parade
It's your time to shine
Time to get laid
Da dat da da, Da dat da dat da da da A hero don't get soft, a hero don't retreat
He's gonna get his way, 'cause he won't accept defeat
Guys like me and you, we're heroes through and through
Semper Fi, do or die
You're a god damn hero
(Can't you hear it boys)
You're a god damn hero
(Can't you hear it comin' comin' comin' comin')
I'm a god damn hero!
(Comin' comin' comin')
At the hometown hero's ticker tape parade
No confetti for the boys who stayed
Hometown hero's ticker tape parade
You win a war, you pick a wife
You get respect your whole damn life
You're a hometown hero
Who gets a motherfuckin' ticker tape parade
Da dat da da, Da dat da dat da da da
