A name

I recognise that name

It was at the center of some ticker tape parade

The lead story,

A fine example

A name, a name

A name I recognise that name

It was at the center of some magnifying glass

The lead story, a fine example

A name, a name

He used to pretend he was fighting some war somewhere

Now everything depends on fighting some war

He never thought he'd be an exclamation point

A demonstration of his disease

A punctuation mark

A household name with hiv

Still, it's just still sound
