Every day the same images
Murder, war, hunger and violence
Every day the same horror
Echoes from our forest of leaves
The media echo rings shrill
On every sensationalist headline that falls
Where is the jester, where is the laughter
Where are the clowns in this world?

Where are the clowns?
Where are the fools?
Who turned off the laughter?

Where is the fun?
Where is the recklessness?
Where are the clowns in this world?
In this world?

Always further, always higher
Our world is riding a carousel
No time for real people
Friendship is virtual today
No time for silly games
Because fun needs time and time is money
We are run over by progress
Where are the clowns in this world?

Where are the clowns?
Where are the fools?
Who turned off the laughter?

Where is the fun?
Where is the recklessness?
Where are the clowns in this world?
In this world?

The circus ring lies in the shadows
Fear is spreading in the circus tent
The color and laughter are missing
Where are the clowns in this world?

Where are the clowns?
Where are the fools?
Who turned off the laughter?

Where is the fun?
Where is the recklessness?
Where are the clowns in this world?
In this world?
Where are the clowns in this world?
Where are the clowns?
We need clowns in this world.
