I used to think it funny to watch the creature in the ring
I would laugh at every lion-taming fool
But you know it'd be alright if a ballerina fell
From a wire's height
They got a safety net to make her landing cool
So take the blindfold from yer eyes
Take the candy floss out of yer mouth
Because this is something you should know about
Two clowns talking in the ear of disaster
The crowd's breath is baited on the will of the master
Two clowns all dressed up to usher in disaster
What are you waiting for?
You sweat to bring the hammer down and ring their shiny bell
Got you spending cash so fast it makes you sick
A pink and stuffed and fluffy prize is the cheapest way
To divert your eyes
You don't ever know the game is fixed
So take the freakshow from yer mind
Take the ignorance out of yer heart
in which political act will you play yer part?
Two clowns talking in the ear of disaster
The crowd's breath is baited on the will of the master
Two clowns all dressed up to usher in disaster
What are you waiting for?
I could not believe it when I walked around the grounds
A vacant lot where the circus just had been
It's a thrilling theatre of d**h
Comepletely vanished, nothing left
Seems like I'd forgotten everything I'd seen
So I break the shackles on my cage
I break the acceptance in my soul
And I will not eat the meat they're putting in my bowl
Two clowns talking in the ear of disaster
The crowd's breath is baited on the will of the master
Two clowns all dressed up to usher in disaster
What are you waiting for?
