Circus of Conformity

VERSE 1

Just like perfect little circus seals

You shower your master with squeals

Laugh at every joke like it’s actually funny

Surrendering your hardest of hard earned money

Never mind that he preaches victimization

On every newscast and every station

Never mind that he teaches hatred and anger

Never mind that he put you all in grave danger

CHORUS

Circus of conformity!

Suppressing the passionate, praising the ornery

Circus of conformity!

Accepting any idiot as the almighty authority

VERSE 2

Just like perfect little sideshow monkeys

You dance to rhythm like it’s funky

You take the abuse, it’s what you choose

Everything you’ve got is yours to lose

Yet you cheer and shake your moneymaker

From the wet nurse to the undertaker

Are you nice and comfy inside your grave?

Too damn bad, because you can’t be saved

CHORUS

Circus of conformity!

Suppressing the passionate, praising the ornery

Circus of conformity!

Accepting any idiot as the almighty authority

BRIDGE

Believe in everything that comes out of his mouth

Take it in the ass and keep shouting “Ouch!”

This is what you wanted; this is what you voted for

You’re living out your fantasy of being a puppet whore

VERSE 3

Just like scary old psychotic clowns

You’re haunting the darkest parts of the town

A ball on your nose or a ball on your mouth

Makes no difference when you can’t make a sound

Your nuts and backbone have been taken away

Too much of a snowflake to enter the fray

Get down on your knees and begin to pray

It’s what you do best during political decay

CHORUS

Circus of conformity!

Suppressing the passionate, praising the ornery

Circus of conformity!

Accepting any idiot as the almighty authority

Circus of conformity!

I won’t do what you fucking order me

The Greatest Show on Earth is almost over

Rid us of your verbal diarrhea foul odor
