Circus Contraption - Showbiz lyrics

Oh, when I was only a boy I thought the world was flat And I wore a raccoon for a hat And I loved my mother My folks took me out in the woods And I played there whenever I could And I thought the forest was good And I was right about that But now that I'm old And my heart has grown cold I can see the world for what it is Then one sunny day My wits ran away And I dived along into showbiz And now I am living in Hell Oh God, what's that terrible smell It's me, oh my god, I'm a wreck All my pride I've swallered Oh Buddha, have mercy on me I think, in my pants, I have peed It ain't spiritual cleansing I need Can you spare a dollar And now that I'm old And my heart has grown cold I can see the world for what it is But for lack of anything better to do I'm stinking and sticking with showbiz But hey, it's OK, what the f** Oh, we're swimming around in the muck And we're cheated and down on our luck Can you spare a co*ktail On asphalt we'll dance on our knees Oh, we're maimed, but we're aiming to please And we heal the lame and diseased Can you spare a liver And now that I'm old And my heart has grown cold I can see the world for what it is But for lack of anything better to do I'm thinking, I'm sticking with showbiz
