The Clarks - The Clowns lyrics

rate me

<br>

There’s a rusting religion with a broken converter<br />

Parse the good book’s words justifying hate and murder<br />

<br />

In a government lockbox everything gets lost<br />

Like old grease on a sprocket<br />

We sent Jack up the Hill to fix it all<br />

He tumbled down with gold lined pockets<br />

<br />

It’s going down right now<br />

What do we do now?<br />

<br />

Send in the clowns, the clowns<br />

Run into the ground<br />

When you send in the clowns<br />

<br />

Winner at all cost on a soapbox <br />

He spoke in doubletalk and riddles<br />

Sounds so good I was in a spell<br />

But while the town was burning he played the fiddle<br />

<br />

I had a dream that I would come back<br />

And what was stolen by the state had been replaced<br />

And we’d replant love where there was loss<br />

Then send the grifters a coup de grace<br />

<br />

It’s going down right now<br />

What do we do now?<br />

<br />

Send in the clowns, the clowns<br />

Run into the ground<br />

When you send in the clowns

<br><br><br><br>

<br>
