My land lady treats me like I don t pay my rent
Took my car to my mechanic, I ain t seen it since
My phone is always ringin when I want to be alone
They try and sell me everything from Heaven to cologne
Everybody s got an offer I can t refuse
It s a circus out here momma
Your baby s got them Sideshow Blues
It s all a big commercial, it s a video of a man
It s a plot to put an end to my attention span
They make up all these issues, I never understood
If I thought I could change things I d run out to Hollywood
But it s hard to kick the door down wearing seven dollar shoes
It s a circus out here momma
Your baby s got them Sideshow Blues
I ve got them Sideshow Blues
I want to tame the lions
These center ring rich kids ain t even trying
From college to the big top they take the best positions
While I m out in this tent with these freaks and musicians
While I m out in this tent with these freaks and musicians
I m moaning them Sideshow Blues
I try to tell my girlfriend she s the only one that I ve got
This chick I hardly knows keeps on telling her she s not
She got a loaded pistol, she waves it all the time
Says, Sometimes you ve gotta k** a boy
To keep his a** in line
Well, that s the way she sees it, she says she saw it on the news
It s a circus out here momma
Your baby s got them Sideshow Blues
See people play satanic records, and you don t know when they ll freak
From quiet kid to maniac to movie of the week
We re k**ing over c**aine, dyin over s**
We re bowing down and praying to who ll ever cuts the check
When I go to church on Sunday, I can t help sleep in the pews
It s a circus out here momma
Your baby s got them Sideshow Blues
It s a circus out here momma
Your baby s got them Sideshow Blues
It s a circus out here momma
Your baby s got them Sideshow Blues
