Lyrics to Circus

Step right up

Win a lovely prize

For your blushing bride-to-be



Now that trained bear

He looks suicidal

On his unicycle



But somewhere in Cleveland

They're payin' to see him

Wearing a vest



Now he dreams of forests

And hot bowls of porridge

I'd wager to guess



They must have their reasons

The whole coliseum

Was spewing out filth



I can't really blame them

Embracing a wasteland

That they didn't build



But Yogi's in agony

This wasn't meant to be



Someone write him a check



Politics

It's not cheating if

The whole thing was fixed



They will be rich

Off our egos

And our stubbornness



So spare me the details

And build me a female

Out of my rib



'Cause I feared the earthquake

And clowns on my birthday

Since I was a kid



Now clowns get elected

Tell us to accept it

When we take the hit



The world loves peep shows

Lets give them a freak show

They won't wanna miss



And they cried the hardest

When they saw the carnage

From what I did



There's plenty of options

So many concoctions

Keeping us still



And I'm feigning interest

In somebody's business

To combat the guilt



Pressed at my temple

It's shiny and metal

And hard to resist



I ran out of ammo;

Instead of "kablamo"

It just whispered "click"



And I laughed the hardest

When I saw the carnage

That could've been fixed
