[ROBO FIZZ]
Now, hey there, old chum? What's got you looking glum?
Is it 'cause you see I'm everything you ain't?
Show off at Ozzie's, quit on Mammon, so if I should examine your affairs?
Well, they frankly ain't that great, hahahaha
I won't be selling out 'cause I know I'll be selling out
The shows that give me all the adoration I demand
It isn't like the circus 'cause now I have a purpose
And it's to be the showman that he couldn't be and fill these stands
Poor little Fizzie, look at how I took your place
But who can really blame me when your life is a disgrace?
Come one, come all, it's the Fizzarolli ball
Where the creatures of the dark gather, answering the call
For a show that knocks the baddest and the meanest off their feet
Watch and learn, my captive audience, I'll give you all a treat
Rebuilt, reborn from the fires of the scorned
I'm the only one that matters now, don't say that you weren't warned
Been living in your shadow, I don't let it keep me down
'Cause now I am the ringleader, and you're the clown
Hahahahahahahahaha
[FIZZAROLLI]
Stop
I'm not going to enable a machine that's gone unstable
The feeble shitty tantrums of a fraud
[ROBO FIZZ]
Uh-oh
[FIZZAROLLI]
You act a part and steal faces just to try and take my place
It's a pale imitation, nothing more
[ROBO FIZZ]
Oh my
[FIZZAROLLI]
I don't hide what I am, I know exactly who I am
I am an entertainer who's above where he began
No longer in the circus, a lord has gave me purpose
And with him, I have got the only thing you'll never understand
[ROBO FIZZ]
Check this sappy jester with a rep he must defend
But you know how the saying goes, all good things gotta end
Come one, come all, it's the Fizzarolli ball
Where the creatures of the dark gather, answering the call
For a show that's gonna make the masses sing and shriek and shout
They'll hang on to every fuckin' word, there's never any doubt
Rebuilt, reborn from the fires of the scorned
I'm the only one that matters now, don't say that you weren't warned
You tried to kill me once, but I came back to see the dawn
And that makes me the ringleader, and now you're gone
[FIZZIE BOT]
You might've had it rough from the silly games you played
But imagine our surprise when you threw this all away
What you were to the people, now it's buried in the past
Do you protest after humiliating yourself? Ha, that's a good laugh
Are you jealous that you don't have what we got?
Do you hate that we're the best of you and everything you're not?
A powerhouse of stardom, always down to have some fun
Not ashamed of what we're meant to do
[FIZZIE BOT & ROBO FIZZ]
While all you do is run
[FIZZIE BOT]
(Hahahahaha)
[ROBO FIZZ]
So sit there all exhausted and keep that whiny tone
But it don't matter what you do, now I am on your throne
Come one, come all, it's the Fizzarolli ball
Where the creatures of the dark gather, answering the call
For a show that keeps 'em coming back here every single night
And the crowd is gonna beg for me with my name up in lights
Rebuilt, reborn from the fires of the scorned
I'm the only one that matters now, don't say that you weren't warned
Across the rings, you'll see my face, the baddest imp in town
'Cause now I am the ringleader, and you're the clown
[ROBO FIZZ & FIZZIE BOT]
Hahahahahahaha
