《The Parade’s Still Passing By》歌词

[00:00:00] The Parade's Still Passing By - Harry Chapin

[00:00:07] I got the news today

[00:00:09] That you refused to play

[00:00:11] Cause you never made number one

[00:00:15] But it's not just the words

[00:00:17] It's the deeds that are heard

[00:00:19] When all is said and done

[00:00:22] You know the Kings take their crowns

[00:00:24] They melt them all down

[00:00:26] Trying to get the gold out

[00:00:30] You went to hell and

[00:00:32] Even when you weren't selling

[00:00:34] You never ever sold out

[00:00:40] You weren't no leader

[00:00:42] You were more like a bleeder

[00:00:44] Who was trying to cry for us all

[00:00:48] You weren't no sage

[00:00:50] But your sense of outrage

[00:00:52] Sounded like a trumpet call

[00:00:56] Fifteen years ago

[00:00:57] In the old folky show

[00:00:59] You were just one voice in the crowd

[00:01:03] But now with so few singing

[00:01:05] Your voice would have been ringing

[00:01:07] Out 'bout twice as loud

[00:01:14] There but for fortune

[00:01:17] Say a small circle of friends

[00:01:21] Some may see the changes

[00:01:25] So few see the ends

[00:01:29] The pleasures of the harbor

[00:01:32] Have come to you at last

[00:01:36] You may not be marching anymore

[00:01:40] But the parade's still going past

[00:01:50] I'm not taking the blame

[00:01:52] That we killed you

[00:01:54] You know you did that to yourself

[00:01:58] But it was kind of a shame

[00:02:00] That you played that game

[00:02:02] Cause you were better than anyone else

[00:02:05] One shot of your bottle

[00:02:07] Got you full throttle

[00:02:09] It was the friend that was always there

[00:02:13] But your greatest gift

[00:02:15] And the curse you lived with

[00:02:18] Was that you could always care

[00:02:24] There but for fortune

[00:02:27] Say a small circle of friends

[00:02:31] Some may see the changes

[00:02:35] So few see the ends

[00:02:39] The pleasures of the harbor

[00:02:43] Have come to you at last

[00:02:47] You may not be marching anymore

[00:02:50] But the parade's still going past
