The Final Parade (feat. Aimee Interrupter, Tim Timebomb, Angelo Moore & Stranger Cole)

He let the merry go round Way more than you ever should He was there when they tore it all down When nobody thought that they would He let the musical cheers Fade away and disappear They went on for so many years We were much happier there (Hey!) And he still hears The noise from the brigade So he's not going to take his place In the final parade (Hey, hey, hey, go!) She thanked each lady and gent For all the time that they spent She watched as each one of them went That's when they tore down the tent She wasn't sorry or sad Stoic, heroic, or brave But there was one question she had What could she salvage or save? Ah she still hears The noise from the brigade So she's not gonna take her place In the final parade (Hey, hey, hey, go!) And he still hears all the Noise from the brigade So you're not gonna see his face In the final parade (Go!) (Hep-hep) (Woo!) He let it slow to a stop Then let it grind to a halt He felt that the bottom would drop To be fair to him, that's not his fault, woo! Let's let the merry go round Let's hear the musical cheers Let's get it back up off the ground Even if no one still cares And he still hears The noise from the brigade So he's not gonna take his place In the final parade (Hey, hey!) (Hey, hey!) And he still hears all the Noise from the brigade So he's not gonna take his place No, he's not gonna take his place And you're not gonna see his face In the final parade (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!) We can't afford to be ignored Next stop is freedom street (Brig-it, brig-it, hig-it) Hit the town, burn it to the ground To the rocksteady beat (Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!) The church was hoping that the midnight mass Was packed from the front to the back (Hig-it, hig-it) West Coast USA, we know where it's at (Hey!) (Ooh) We'd play around With our punk rock reggae sound 'Cause sometimes dancing is all you've got (Come on, come on, come on, come on!) We were crankin' We were skankin' We were crankin', we were skankin' All over the world He was billy-clubbed the night that we were dubbed The lords of Central Square (Central Square) He just snapped and then the cuffs were slapped That's how it's done down there (Done down there) (Right?)
