Staind - Rainy Day Parade lyrics

rate me

You the great pretenders, blood to paint your pictures

While you’re stepping over fallen people lying in the streets

You the great offenders, only your views matter

While your heart grows colder, I wish that you could open up and feel

For a while see if you can take it

Feel, you’re alive and this is all part of it

Feel, could it be that we’re all afraid

'Cause it feels like a rainy day parade

We the great believers, blood is legal tender

I will not surrender what it was our fathers died to bear

We the people stated, not negotiated

Just to be forgotten, I wish that you could open up and see

For a while see if you can take it

See, you’re alive and this is all part of it

See, can’t you see that we’re all afraid

‘Cause it seems like a rainy day parade

What I see is all too real

What I need is what you steal

And all I reap is what you take

Upon my back on which you break

I just wish that we could rise above and feel

For a while see if you can take it

Feel, you’re alive and this is all part of it

Feel could it be that we’re all afraid

‘Cause it feels like a rainy day parade
