Rainy Day Parade - Staind

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

And 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

And 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
