[al:There But For Fortune]
[offset:0]
[00:34.56] Hup, two, three, four,
[00:36.09] marching down the street
[00:38.00] Rolling of the drums
[00:39.36] and the tramping of the feet
[00:41.81] General salutes and mothers
[00:43.93] wave and weep
[00:45.33] Here comes the big parade
[00:48.46] Don't be afraid
[00:50.32] Price is paid
[00:51.90] One more parade
[00:54.42] So young, so strong,
[00:56.08] so ready for the war
[00:58.40] So willing to go and die upon
[01:00.50] a foreign shore
[01:02.11] All march together,
[01:03.14] everybody looks the same
[01:05.72] So there's no one you can blame
[01:08.56] Don't be ashamed
[01:10.31] Light the flame
[01:11.94] One more parade
[01:18.66] Listen for the sound
[01:19.88] and listen for the noise
[01:22.16] Listen for the thunder
[01:23.63] of the marching boys
[01:26.22] A few years ago their guns
[01:28.11] were only toys
[01:29.66] Here comes the big parade
[01:32.76] Don't be afraid
[01:34.63] Price is paid
[01:36.22] One more parade
[01:38.72] So young, so strong,
[01:40.45] so ready for the war
[01:42.83] So willing to go and die
[01:44.29] upon a foreign shore
[01:46.52] All march together,
[01:47.52] everybody looks the same
[01:50.14] So there's no one you can blame
[01:52.86] Don't be ashamed
[01:54.67] Light the flame
[01:56.25] One more parade
[02:01.13] Medals on their coats
[02:02.40] and guns in their hands
[02:04.95] Trained to kill as
[02:06.28] they're trained to stand
[02:08.71] 10,000 ears need only one command
[02:12.03] Here comes the big parade
[02:15.11] Don't be afraid
[02:16.91] Price is paid
[02:18.68] One more parade
[02:20.96] So young, so strong,
[02:22.75] so ready for the war
[02:25.13] So willing to go and die upon
[02:27.08] a foreign shore
[02:28.81] All march together,
[02:30.08] everybody looks the same
[02:32.39] So there's no one you can blame
[02:35.15] Don't be ashamed
[02:37.05] Light the flame
[02:38.62] One more parade
[02:45.30] Cold hard stares on faces so proud
[02:49.13] Kisses from the girls
[02:50.35] and cheers from the crowd
[02:54.20] And the widows from the last war
[02:56.55] cry into their shrouds
[02:58.41] Here comes the big parade
[03:01.51] Don't be afraid, price is paid
[03:05.18] Don't be ashamed, war's a game
[03:08.86] World in flames, so start the parade
[03:13.98]
