Hup, two, three, four, marchin' down the street   Rollin' of the drums and the trampin' of the feet   General salutes and the mothers wave and weep   Here comes the big parade   Don't be afraid, price is paid   One more parade      Chorus:   So young, so strong, so ready for the war   So willin' to go an' die upon a foreign shore   All march together, everybody looks the same   So there is no one you can blame   Don't be ashamed, light the flame   One more parade      Listen for the sound and listen for the noise   Listen for the thunder of the marching boys   Few years ago their guns were only toys   Here comes the big parade   Don't be afraid, price is paid   One more parade      Chorus:   Medals on their coats and guns in their hands   Trained to kill as they're trained to stand   Ten thousand ears need only one command   Here comes the big parade   Don't be afraid, price is paid   One more parade      Chorus:   Cold hard stares on faces so proud   Kisses from the girls and cheers from the crowd   And the widows from the last war cry into their shrouds   Here comes the big parade   Don't be afraid, price is paid   Don't be ashamed, war's a game   World in flames   So start the parade!!
