Lyrics
Well I opened my eyes up the other day,
as I opened the windows that show the way,
and just when I thought I had it made
Somebody pulled the shade.
Looking over my shoulders I run away,
But the farthest I get is another day,
Just then I hear somebody say,
and he said "Welcome to the Parade".
Welcome to the Parade,
Did you really believe you were trying?
Everything that you said as you lie in your bed
Did you really believe they were buying?
Welcome to the parade.
So I called up a good friend in West LA,
I said Jones you right there's no easy way,
And I swear to this day as he drove away,
He said "Welcome to the Parade".
Welcome to the Parade,
Did you really believe you were winning?
Everything that you said as you lie in your bed
Did you really forget the beginning?
Welcome to the parade.
So I guess I'm gonna change my life,
Something keeps going out of tune
And I guess I better roll my eyes,
And I guess I better do it soon.
So until the magic starts to fall,
And the music begins to fade
And they're singing it to us all...
Welcome to the Parade.
Welcome to the Parade,
Did you really believe you were trying?
Everything that you said as you lie in your bed
Did you really believe they were buying?
"Welcome to the Parade".
