Circus

Elect a clown, expect a circus
You try to look away but... can't avert it
Like stumbling on an accident or the scene of a crime
But the spectacle's on your dime and unfolding in real time
So come one come all, it's a monster's ball
Guess what? The laugh's on us all, y'all

And its way too late to say Nyet
You've got Putin calling the shots with
Oligarchs in yachts
Preying off the rot
Cranking out toxic bots

Watch the clown car cabinet rolling down the avenue
It's a motley crew, some are dancing with the stars
Some are behind bars and let's hope the rest aren't far the
Most are at the trough at the gold plated tower
And one's in Moscow getting a golden shower
Whether you like it or not doesn't much matter
The electoral college will throw your vote under water
So grab some popcorn or some fantonyl
And come one come all, To the monster's ball

The rearguard revolution will be televised and tweeted
It's a circle jerk in a circular firing squad
And the collateral damage is spreading far and wide
It hits the huddled masses, the poor, the working classes
Cause it's a government of fat cats, plutocrats and other asses (Fast)
The strongman's a strawman grasping at straws and pussy
A carnival barker on the take taking orders from the enemy (Fast)
Ladies and gents come one come all
We're in a free fall...
It's just a monster's ball

Now we're on the trapeze without a net
You've got Putin calling the shots with oligarchs in yachts
Preying off the rot
And cranking out toxic bot

Remember in this circus there is no safety net
You fall through the cracks you break your neck
You hope the risks are somehow remote
Then you remember whose got the nuclear codes
We're all circus animals now...
Especially if you happen to be black or brown
If You come from a Muslim land
The circus elephant looks on idle and mute
Ready to scoop the circus master's puke
It's like when you flush the toilet And the waste keeps rising
The joker's cackling at the moon while the tide keeps climbing
Not to worry, climate change is a hoax
At least that's the official joke told by lobbyist folks
Running the Environmental Pollution Agency
Where science, like the air we breathe, has gone a bit hazy
Come one come all, Its just a monster's ball

The rot it seeps into your pores
Until you can't shake the stench
The toilet's funk spilling over your feet
And your jaws just clench
You're feeling overwhelmed, tangled up in blue
So what to do? What can you do?
To soldier through, sometimes ya gotta scrape the shit right off your shoes
Scrape the shit off your shoes
Don't succumb to the show and clown
Vote the circus right out of of town
Get in it, to win it, so even the Selectoral College can't rig it
