Yeah... ... Alright... ... Here we go... ... ... ... Trumpets sound, the parade rolls slow Golden crown, big ego Silk and gold, that's what they say I see nothing anyway .,. People laugh, people cheer No one says what's really here In the light, I see it clear They all know but live in fear Truth is low, lies are loud Funny little plastic crowd I don't turn my eyes away I see through the big parade No crown, no clothes Everybody knows Big parade, big show But nobody says no No crown, no clothes Everybody knows I don't lie, I don't bend I won't play pretend They all walk the safer line Sell the truth to look just fine Smiling face, empty eyes Living in their cheap disguise I was never one to run I say what must be done If the truth is hard to say I'll be saying it anyway No crown, no clothes Everybody knows Big parade, big show But nobody says no No crown, no clothes Everybody knows I don't lie, I don't bend I won't play pretend Laugh at me, I don't care Truth is more than what you wear Kings may rule, crowds may bow But I won't do it now No crown, no clothes Everybody knows Parade lies, fake applause I don't follow their laws No crown, no clothes Everybody knows I stand here, I stand proud I won't follow the crowd
