Ruffians On Parade - Lyrics - Kaiser Chiefs

Kaiser Chiefs are an English indie rock band from Leeds who formed in 2000 as Parva, releasing one studio album, 22, in 2003, before renaming and establishing themselves in their current name that same year. Since their formation the band consists of lead vocalist Ricky Wilson, guitarist Andrew "Whitey" White, bassist Simon Rix, keyboardist Nick "Peanut" Baines and since 2013 drummer Vijay Mistry, who replaced founding drummer Nick Hodgson who left the band in late 2012.

I chew imaginary gum I own a replica gun When we play away from home We send in the drones I study military maps It helps me relax What an ending With 'em sending in the drones Ruffians are on parade Ruffians are on parade At the last stand of the day We lost more than we saved At weekly meetings we go on parade I write on the walls Of urinals and stalls When we play away from home We send in the drones I got the head of a stag And a confederate flag What an ending With 'em sending in the drones Ruffians are on parade Ruffians are on parade In the dark of the arcades We spend more than we made At weekly meetings we go on parade We're never backing down we'll never be alone again We are never backing down even a million miles away from home Ruffians are on parade The ruffians are on parade At the last stand of the day We lost more than we saved In the dark of the arcades And we spend more than we made At weekly meetings, early evenings After eating, we go on parade
