Mustache Parade

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He tried to march, but slipped on pride Tiny little boots, big ego inside Shoutin' tough talk at a dinner plate Still couldn't handle an honest debate He drew a line, then tripped in place Wore that angry little painted face Talked like thunder, acted like a rat All that rage in a stupid little hat [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, what a clown parade Marching in the wrong damn shade Ooh, he thought he was grand Just a tantrum with a raised right hand [Chorus] What a joke, what a joke He burned his name to smoke What a joke, what a joke Little man, big choke (what a joke) What a joke, what a joke History laughed, then spoke No crown, no throne, no glory Just a warning in the story [Verse 2] He sold fear like it was gold Turned a crowd cold, mean, and sold Built a show on lies and blame Then ran from the fire he made Now the lesson's carved in stone Hate makes dust out of a throne If you feed it, it grows teeth If you let it live, it takes your peace [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, hear the empty cheer Loudest cowards disappear Ooh, he played so rough Turned to ash and called it tough [Chorus] What a joke, what a joke He burned his name to smoke What a joke, what a joke Little man, big choke (what a joke) What a joke, what a joke History laughed, then spoke No crown, no throne, no glory Just a warning in the story [Bridge] No applause for the cruel No mercy for the fool You can strut, you can shout Truth will always call you out [Final Chorus] What a joke, what a joke He burned his name to smoke What a joke, what a joke Little man, big choke (what a joke) What a joke, what a joke History laughed, then spoke No crown, no throne, no glory Just a warning in the story
