Why you keep raining down On my parade On my parade Why you keep raining down On my parade My parade I remember growing up as a youngin' I would think about death so often Never thought I'd live to see today All the friends I thought would be here Passed away left me in deep tears Never thought that I could find a way Many battles I fought and lost them Many hearts I stole and cross them Never thought I'd give my own this way Sunny skies don't come round often Most nights I'm cold and coughing That's why I'm marching loud today Why you keep raining down On my parade On my parade Why you keep raining down On my parade My parade I've been thinking bout leaving for the summertime Find a place where I could get a little sunshine Cus I'm tired of all this shade I was thinking how I could get away too On the low sneak away I could play cool Even on the hottest day I was sitting here feeling exhausted At work and can't deal with my boss shit I wonder why they treat us all the same Good advice don't come round often Most times I talk with caution I could see storm clouds from miles away Why you keep raining down On my parade On my parade Why you keep raining down On my parade My parade Why you keep raining down On my parade On my parade Why you keep raining down On my parade My parade Why you keep raining down Don't keep me waiting around If you just coming to rain down On my parade On my parade Why should I keep waiting around If it's just gon' be raining now
