Bill Madden – Fools' Parade lyrics

Freddie was cruisin’
In a white
Stolen ‘64
Impala one night
In a case
Of mistaken identity
His homeboy shot him down
He was seventeen
Ain’t life sublime
In all its grandeur and decay
In idiot paradise
Everyday’s a fools’ parade
Gunnar’s a star
In an Aryan clan
He learned to hate
From his ol’ man
Propaganda spews
Racist news
To the goons worldwide
From his own web site
Ain’t life sublime
In all its grandeur and decay
In idiot paradise
Everyday’s a fools’ parade

It’s become a common occurrence
Nobody respecting nobody else
Everyone is suspicious
Of everyone
In idiot paradise
In idiot paradise
In idiot paradise
Everyday’s a fools’

Eddie’s in a hotel
Mixing chemical
Substances
As he always does
A cocktail
Of gin
Protease inhibitors
And heroin
Ain’t life sublime
With all its grandeur and decay
In idiot paradise
Everyday’s a fools’ parade
Everyday’s a fools’ parade

In idiot paradise
In idiot paradise
In idiot paradise
Everyday’s a fools’ parade
Ain’t life sublime
In all its grandeur and decay
In idiot paradise
Everyday’s a fools’ parade
