Danny Elfman - Better Times lyrics

Just in time— to catch the show you‘ve already paid for Just in time The spectacle’s about to begin And everyone‘s here that matters there‘s one little hitch Hope you forgive The chattering monkeys, they broke in Creating some damage It‘s really most unfortunate when they try to ruin perfection And we‘ve got highly trained young men To guarantee protection To hell with all formalities, lеt‘s toast to mediocrity ‘Cause we’rе the ones who safeguard All the keys to the palace To better times, to better times, to better times (X4) Just in time— the aliens are about to invade us Time to ride The freaks are forming their own brigade But I don’t know why they’re trying They promise a splendid big parade That we find terrifying Those chattering monkeys want to steal The spotlight from the circus But if you don‘t mind please ignore them They really have no purpose To hell with all formalities, let‘s drink to mediocrity ‘Cause we’re the ones who are holding All the keys to the palace It‘s time to take the circus down And burn the palace to the ground Take back the keys from the clowns And raise your glass and toast the little monkeys To better times, to better times, to better times (X4)
