Portfolio III: Silly Clown

(A) Verse 1:

​

Corporate circus needs a joke

Entertain these desperate folk

A crowd watches in the big top

A silly clown performs nonstop

Why sell out your heart and soul

Why be their spectacle

Take that silly paint off your face

You don’t belong in this crooked place

​

(B) Chorus: 

​

We refuse to be their court jester

Entertaining corporate liars

Their delusions will soon fester

Exposing corrupt empires

We won’t put on any charades

Circus tents come crashing down

So tired of these masquerades

Go and find another silly clown

​

(A) Verse 2: 

​

Corporate greed’s filled the seats

Bribing people with lustful sweets

Misguided souls trapped in a cage

The Ringmaster steps onto the stage

“Step right up and take a chance

And get lost in a breathtaking trance”

Don’t fall for their lousy ruse

Or you’ll end up wearing clown shoes

​

(B) Chorus: 

​

We refuse to be their court jester

Entertaining corporate liars

Their delusions will soon fester

Exposing corrupt empires

We won’t put on any charades

Circus tents come crashing down

So tired of these masquerades

Go and find another silly clown

​

(C) Bridge: 

​

You’re not our ringmaster

We’re not in your circus

This show’s a disaster

Just below the surface

​

(B) Chorus: 

​

We refuse to be their court jester

Entertaining corporate liars

Their delusions will soon fester

Exposing corrupt empires

We won’t put on any charades

Circus tents come crashing down

So tired of these masquerades

Go and find another silly clown
