This is nothing new
I'm in front line leading the way

We are consumed by our greed
By the simple needs
That plagues us in life

Evil plagues this world
The parade goes on and on
Heading toward each new dawn

Never to end
Foolish acts we descend
Onto a new low in life

Our parade goes on forever
Will it ever see its ways?
Will we stop wasting our days?

Lies, greed, sex, drugs, death
Each has there own section in the parade
As for me I'm in front leading the way

I descend us down
I'm the biggest fool of the all
Leading the parade of fools to the edge
Soon we'll all fall
