homecoming parade
Halos and helicopters Everything is over my head Thought they were coming to save me,  But they just left me here for dead  I hopped in an ambulance Caught a ride back to my old hometown Got out at four corners, And watched the crowd gather 'round  For the homecoming parade Where they called me a hero  And asked me why i've changed At the homecoming parade They're killing off their favorite sons  Angels and astronauts Everyone is looking down at me I thought they were coming to help But they're just falling out of the sky  There's a laugh track,  But no one's smiling Everyone is keeping their head down. No one wants to make a scene  In this small minded town Where all the mothers drink 'til they drown  At the homecoming parade Where they call you a hero  And then spike the lemonade At the homecoming parade They're killing off their favorite sons And all their daughters are on the run  Heretics and hometown heroes We all get treated the same They line us up to praise us 'Til they turn the tv cameras off  Then they line us up and interview us Then they line us up and accuse us Then they line us up and shoot us  At the homecoming parade Where they call you a hero  As they tie you to the stake At the homecoming parade They're killing off their favorite sons They've got all their daughters on the run They've been killing off  Their favorite sons for years All their daughters  Are picking up their guns  And getting out of here.
