lyrics

father - this is a bad dream
mother – don’t make him angry
children – lined up in the hallway
listen – here come the war planes

they come and go – this is just so
we take the blow – the cancer grows

so many lies spoken
so many spines broken
in the night
so many times woken
to watch the late night hero parade

father – where is your buffer
mother – to live is to suffer
children – keep quiet about it
people - they always gossip

it comes in waves like wind on graves
beneath the skin the cancer wins

so many lies spoken
so many spines broken
in the night
so many times woken
to watch the late night hero parade

what’s bothering me
solid doors and jangling keys
cannot concentrate
too many damaged heroes of late

what’s wrong with me
solid doors and jangling keys
why am I afraid
of limping cripples in the hero parade

father – the world war is over
