This is not a circus, this is for real In the eyes of the tiger, our own fear we feel Looking out the window, a rainstorm rolling in It turns into a wide-screen, of hatred, anger and screams This is not a real clown, this man is made of steel From the bottom of his cold eyes, a timebomb can be seen He's acting like a father, but behaving like a boy He leads us to destruction, and it brings him power and joy We don't wanna watch these stunts Bouncing through the air Dancing on our square Perform another turn This is not a fair game; it's getting out of hand He's sending out our children, to fight in a foreign land Looking for a scapegoat, the circus leaves another town Set out to fight the Terror, but it mirrors it just the same!! Bleeding on a wide-screen and into our minds A fertilized reality, there is no chance to rewind
We're all driving on a highway and the accelerator's locked In the firm grip of a joker, such a madman and a clown We don't wanna watch these stunts... Bouncing through the air Dancing on our square Perform another turn We don't wanna feel this dread Churn up this raging storm Another sacrifice For a clown covered with lies Another sacrifice They keep bleeding through the walls All the numbers and the names A clown that never fails Leaving misery in his trail Black as oil this game Black as oil this game Black as oil this game It's as black as oil this game Take the prophecies for real This is how we've come to feel Just let the circus leave our world Just let the circus leave our world Just let the circus leave our world
