Circus

Step right up
Win a lovely prize
For your blushing bride to be
Now that trained bear
He looks suicidal
On his unicycle

But somewhere in Cleveland they're paying to see him wearing a vest
Now he dreamed of forests and hot bowls of porridge I'd wager to guess
They must have their reasons, the whole Coliseum was spewing out filth
I can't really blame them,
embracing a wasteland that they didn't build (but honey)
Yogi's in agony
Oh this wasn't meant to be
Someone write him a check

All the tricks
It's not cheating if
The whole thing was fixed
And they would be rich
Off our egos
And our stubbornness

So spare me the details and build me a female out of my ribs
Cause i feared the earthquake and
clowns on my birthday since I was a kid
Now clowns get elected, tell us to accept it when we take the hit
The world loves peep shows,
let's give 'em a freak show they won't wanna miss (and honey)
I cried the hardest
When I saw the carnage
Of what I did

There's plenty of options, so many concoctions, keeping us still
And I'm feigning interest in somebody's business, to combat the guilt
And pressed to my temple, it's shiny and metal and hard to resist
I ran out of ammo; instead of kablamo! It just whispered "click"
I cried the hardest
When I saw the carnage
That could've been fixed
