It's time for truth the barker said and poured his self a beer
|
Oh yeah forsooth said Ben the Geek but who'll be left to hear
|
They've driven off the fools and saints and now they've stole the show
|
It's all a bloody circus mates and clowns are in control
|
If that's the truth said Marzipan the Midget from the floor
|
I know there won't be no demand for Midgets anymore
|
We used to be a novelty by simply being small
|
But next to them unholy men now Tiny Tim looks tall
|
And it's harder to matter at all when it's all comin' down (and it's all comin' down)
|
You've still got your duty to choose how you live or you die (that's just the way it is)
|
So many warnings to turn this old rascal around
|
We better heed 'em while we got the freedom to try
|

|
From the bombin' over Baghdad to the burnin' down at Waco
|
In the television courtroom of our trials we can see
|
If yow want to kill your parents or cut off somebody's business
|
All you got to do is make them hate the victim and you're free
|
Like Manuel Noriega Saddam Hussein David Koresh
|
And it's harder to matter...
|
We better heed 'em while we got the freedom to try
