Comes a time when you get turned around, and

Life itself just wears you out, but

You keep getting ready for the big parade

Ah you shine your shoes and you fake a smile

Salute the players with that famous style, cause

Keepin up has kept you in chains

I was thinking that if you know a way out then I'd like to go with you

And we can burn out like candles under that paper moon

They just dont know anything at all

They just dont know anything at all

Youll fight traffic jams and big TVs, and

Hipsters trapped in their own irony, but

Youll finally think about settling down

Oh you quit your job and you sell your car

Youll burn your clothes and pray to the stars, cause

You swore to God that youd never end up this way

I was thinking that if you know a way out then I'd like to go with you

And we can burn out like candles under that paper moon

They just dont know anything at all

They just dont know anything at all

At all

At all

At all

At all

Comes a time when you get turned around, and

Life itself just wears you out, but

You keep getting ready for the big parade

You keep getting ready for that big parade? I think this songs is just a trip through life....ending in that big parade, which to me, screams as a metaphor for your funeral procession and that parade of cars that folows you to your final resting place

Calgary Stampede 2012, when they played this song and there were probably near 50 people moshing in the small venue stage known as the coca cola stage, OLP stops playing their music. Raine address the people creating havoc and say "We wrote this song about Canada, specifically about the west. If there was any of our songs you should respect when we play it, it's this one. Especially in your own city. Settle down and we'll start playing again". A true band with character and respect. OLP FOREVER

I disagree, Just because it is in a different tune does not mean it lacks quality, if you are a whiny bitch because it does not have the emotion of old songs you were in it for the wrong reasons.

where'd you learn how to play it? The only thing I can find of this song on the internet is chords, but I want to learn the solo

it's called falsetto, and I'm glad Raine got back to doing that, he's great at it :3

I completely wrote off this album after hearing the first single. I...actually enjoyed this though. Are there any other gems on this album that nobody told me about?

This song reminds me of the pre-Gravity era, and it is the only song on the album that does that for me. Great album though. This song could have easily been released on Happiness...

One of their best songs! Where would this album be without it.? Reminds me a bit of Elton John on the chorus . This should be in rotation on Classic Rock stations ..its just that kind of song. Maybe re-release it somehow. Though the last two albums may be half filler to some they shine in this tune along with Angels Losing Sleep from HIPT..which IMO is one of those most beautiful songs ever written.

You know.. I hate it when people go off about old OLP and new OLP and hating or loving one or the other.. ever thought of loving the band that gave you something you enjoy? Thats far better than all these bands that are completely repetative and boring after ONE hit.. OLP has many many hits, many different sogns, to suit more than one taste.. that is talent, that is OLP, and god bless em.. Dont like a certain song or album? listen to the other that you love. thats why theres a hard copy

@kennygmang clearly you don't understand music very well if you think SOT is more unoriginal than AYD. Its full of all cliches you hear in every band's lyrical library. It just similies the entire song. "like the red sea you split me open" Barf.

It just took me like, half an hour to learn how to play this on guitar. OLP is awesome!
