CLOWNHOUSE


Living in this modern world everything goes to hell
Rioting in the streets, I'm living by my law
Running an endless race, it's society's constant struggle
Rip it up, tear it down, forget toil trouble
Why am I losing sleep? So may problems to solve
Fighting an endless battle on and on and on
Sometimes I really think and maybe you should do the same
I just can't seem to get it right, time and time again
I got the key to the clownhouse, it's mine and mine alone
I'll open the door and jump right in when I'm feeling alone
Life is just a freakshow and how much can one take
Welcome to the center ring - a world of snakes
The sick and the homeless with no security
Starving in the cold in the streets -  a part of you and me
Challenge time! Break the ice and give this world a sock
Hold the key in the palm of your hand, and still we break the lock
The story of a man who lives in a cardboard box
Tangled in his web called life, where to I get off?
Living off scraps and hope and caught up in his own depression
Using the power of the human mind to destroy all your pressure
I've got the key to the clownhouse, it's mine and mine alone
I'll open the door and jump right in when I'm feeling alone
Life is just a freak show and how much can one take
Welcome to the center ring - a world of snakes
Society's clownhouse and everybody's a freak
Just paint a smile on the people's face
You won't even see their frowns
Life is just a circus and now it's your turn to play
This clownhouse is your world you're living in today
An old lady was hit by a car, another hit and run
Used to live in a trash can amongst the wine and scum
The world to her was just as black as night
Now she lies dead in the street with a pie in her face
