You could be wrong
Be careful what you wish for
It could come back
Yeah, to bite you in the ass
Those who ignore
What history has shown us
Well, they are doomed, doomed, doomed
To repeat the past

Close your eyes, hold your nose
The emperor, he has no clothes
Movie stars, glory hounds
Not my circus, not my clowns
(Not my clowns)

The list is long
Of difference between us
And yes I'm guilty
Till proven innocent
And the ringmaster
Mmh, he is smiling
And he laughs
As he cracks his whip
Crack that whip

Close your eyes, hold your nose
The emperor, he has no clothes
Social justice glory hounds
Not my circus, not my clowns
Not my clowns (not my clowns)
Not my clowns

This crazy world is going upside down
Where once a smile is now a puzzled frown
Reality is drawing nearer
Society is a fun house mirror

Close your eyes, hold your nose
The emperor, he has no clothes
Movie stars, glory hounds
Not my circus, not my clowns
Sit on back, enjoy the show
The more you learn the less you know
It's Looney Tunes in Crazy Town
But it's not my circus, no, not my clowns
