Rose Parade

You asked me to come down and watch the parade
 To march down the street like the Duracell bunny
 But we get away from the cavalcade
 Throwing out candy that looks like money
 To people passing by
 They'd all seem to be going the other way
 So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
 Tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar
 People were shouting and pushing and saying
 They'd traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar
 Ridiculous marching band started playing
 Got me singing along
 With some half-hearted victory song
 So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
 The trumpet has obviously been drinking
 Cause he's fucking up even the simplest lines
 You say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing
 It's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine
 When they clean the street, I'll be the only shit that's left behind
 So won't you follow me down to the Rose Parade?
