My Parade

(album: My Parade - 2021)

Why you keep raining down on my parade? On my parade?
Why you keep raining down on my parade? My parade?

I remember growing up as a younging
I would think about death so often
Never thought I'd live to see today
All the friends I thought would be here
Passed away, left me in deep tears
Never thought that I could find a way
Many battles I fought and lost them
Many hearts I stole and crossed them
Never thought I'd give my own this way
Sunny skies don't come around often
Most nights I'm cold and coughing
That's why I'm marching loud today

Why you keep raining down on my parade? On my parade?
Why you keep raining down on my parade? My parade?

I've been thinking 'bout leaving for the summertime
Find a place when I could get a little sunshine
'Cause I'm tired of all this shade
And I was thinking how I could get away too
On the low, sneak away, I could play cool
Even on the hottest day
I was sitting here feeling exhausted
At work and can't deal with my boss shit
I wonder why they treat us all the same
Good advice don't come around often
Most times I talk with caution
I could see storm clouds from miles away

Why you keep raining down on my parade? On my parade?
Why you keep raining down on my parade? My parade?
Why you keep raining down on my parade? On my parade?
Why you keep raining down on my parade? My parade?

Why you keep raining down?
Don't keep me waiting around
If you're just coming to rain down on my parade, on my parade
Why should I keep waiting around if it's just gon' be raining now?
