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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fifteen years ago[00:00:56]

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

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

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

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

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

There but for fortune[00:01:14]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That we killed you[00:01:52]

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

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

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

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

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

Got you full throttle[00:02:07]

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

But your greatest gift[00:02:13]

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

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

There but for fortune[00:02:24]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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