House of Distractions
Welcome to our circus
There's no meaning and no purpose to our antics
So wild and frantic
Sit back and enjoy the show
There's nothing else you need to know
It's fine to toe the line
We construct distraction to distract from the destruction we construct
We mean to entertain, switch off your brain, forget your pain, you are in luck
I shall be your host tonight
Fill you with wonder and delight
So trust me (How you disgust me)
Even though I am a clown
You still want me to wear a crown and rule you
Or was it fool you?
You will not believe the tricks that I got up my sleeve, you'll be amazed
An act made for your class I pull some shit out of my ass and leave you fazed
Don't you pay no mind
About the skeletons we hide inside our closets
And bank deposits
Someday it will trickle down, I know you're in a pickle now
But trust us
Forget our trust funds
If you worked hard you could one day become one of us (One of us one of us)
We never did but have faith, don't make much of a fuss
See the human cannonball
The pride that comes before the fall is magic
Before it's tragic
Always happy to comply
When we say jump he says how high
He'll fly to kill or die
Never questions orders he just shoots right straight to where he's pointed to
Careful for before too long you're gonna find him pointed right at you
The tiger tamer flirts with danger, his whip is in command
The time will come the tiger tamer's gonna lose his hand
The beast will come to realise the lies it has been fed
And see it always had the power and just rip the fucker to shreds
Meet our gracious acrobat
The inoffensive democrat
His dealings won't hurt your feelings
Walks the line but can't decide
He never wants to pick a side
Be wary, choices are scary
Crying opposition but complying in submission with the plan
He'll vent all your frustration, give you peace of mind so that you can
Have your bread and circuses
Just put your brain activity in stasis
And stuff your faces
Sit back and enjoy the show
There's nothing else you need to know
It's fine to toe the line
We construct distraction to distract from the destruction we construct
Don't avert your eyes and you will never realise that you're fucked
There's no meaning and no purpose to our antics
So wild and frantic
Sit back and enjoy the show
There's nothing else you need to know
It's fine to toe the line
We construct distraction to distract from the destruction we construct
We mean to entertain, switch off your brain, forget your pain, you are in luck
I shall be your host tonight
Fill you with wonder and delight
So trust me (How you disgust me)

You still want me to wear a crown and rule you

You will not believe the tricks that I got up my sleeve, you'll be amazed
