.Ladies and gentlemen
boys and girls
gather ‘round!
The circus is coming back to town!
Pack a lunch. I have a feeling this is gonna be a long one…
The wagon is almost here…
Wheels wobbly, ready to fall off at any moment…
and of course, as always…
the clown is driving.

Let me drop my two cents on this madness
direct from the state of the panic
bandanas and sanitizers
won’t do nothing against this virus
trying to wipe us off the planet,
God damn it
it’s mad contagious
been plaguing us since the ages of earliest civilizations
engrained in the brain
amazingly hard to contain or erase it
the infection causes hatred
and blindness to the plight of darker people, man, it’s basic
depleted human kindness is the basis of how we define a racist
look at the pigs who walk like humans
but their blood is cold as night air
they hunt in packs, killers trained and strapped, they never fight fair
strangle a man for nothing and give the camera that dead eye glare
animals on hind legs like a circus in a nightmare
except when you open your eyes
Surprise!
the clown is standing right there
in the White House spewing lies out
got the planet feeling quite scared
a psychopathic ringmaster, orange skin and toupee
but the danger’s in the groupies who’ll do whatever the fuckin dude say…

who let the clown take the wheel?
disasters coming faster, man, it’s getting real
elect a clown, expect a circus

the clown is the distraction, the action’s behind the curtains
who let the clown be the driver
it been the wild west, but now this shit is getting wilder
elect a clown, expect a circus
elect a clown, expect a circus

Why’s the sound this clown makes when he opens up his gullet
like a battle cry for bigots with automatics and mullets?
Like strings to dangerous puppets
the white supremacists love it
policemen with grudges encouraged to murder us right in public.
The rest of us hear his voice as the sound of the seven trumpets
of revelation
a cancer to human civilization
a threat to more than the nation
but people ran out of patience
we got tired of waiting
we set fire to the stations
ain’t no fear, it’s just frustration
cuz this younger generation
are fighting for their lives, it ain’t up for negotiation
they ain’t with discrimination or this racist administration
so they’re ready for confrontation if it means total transformation.
‘Cause every year increases, more innocent people slain or in chains
and so their deaths ain’t in vain, we keep saying their names
blocking the lanes, shaking up things, blazing the flames
until the powers that be recognize we ain’t playin no games!
Crooked cops up to the top clown elected
the people want change and respect and ain’t gonna request it.
After so long with knees on our necks what you expected?
It been like 400 years, 8 minutes and 46 seconds…
