It's not a race
We'll get there when we do
But that won't be the end of all that comes to trouble you
At no time or place
Will struggle just conclude
And we'll just keep on going on
We get no parade
It's no parade
That we put ourselves through
To try to measure up to what they have and what they do
A pretty face
Or billions in a vault
Won't be what keeps us going on
We don't need what they've got
They don't love what we love
We will feel our own way out
And we will never stop
We get no parade
We don't want your admiration
Keep your accolade
We don't need the validation anymore
We get no parade
We don't need what they've got
They don't love what we love
We will feel our own way out
And we will never stop
We get no parade
We don't want your admiration
Keep your accolade
We don't need the validation anymore
We get no parade
