I ain't got no fun today
It's just like yesterday, oh yeah
Only different shades of grey
I'm bored right out of my skull
I'd have to get high just to be dull
I'm institutional
My TV screen spins around and around
And around and around
I need a sideshow
Some kinda creepshow
They ran the circus out of town
But the ring master said:
"Boy, you can stick around"
I pay to see all the freaks
Some finger licking chicken-eating geek
Hey, that sounds cool to me
I just want to step inside
I want a scary ride, oh yeah
See Jeckyll turn to Hyde
I fell my head spinning round and around
and around and around
I need a sideshow, oh yeah
Some kinda creepshow, oh yeah
I just want someplace to go, oh yeah
I tried to be the circus clown
But even my monkey wouldn't hang around
And the hunchback midget and his twisted friends
Offer me a world of thrills that never end
I need a sideshow
Some kind of freaky show
Down where the neon glows
Just like a psychedelic video
Or a 24 hour party, go go go
Not a gozio, no
I need a sideshow

I have seen the streets and alleyways
Of a million faceless towns
The camera comes, the camera goes
Filming our blues for the late night news
We gather round
Never searching for our innocence
Our faith, our truth, our love
They're only there when things go wrong
Filming our blues for the late night news
We gather round
Show us peace and understanding
Brother love for fellow man
Cure us, we are sick from violence
In your sideshow of life
Impartiality is like
A coin they have to spend
The currency of the chosen few
They place their bets
Switch on your sets
There's world disasters by the minute
They tell us on the hour
And when we think we've paid our dues
They've filmed our blues for the late night news
We gather round
Show us peace and understanding
Brother love for fellow man
Cure us, we are sick from violence
In your sideshow of life
Sideshow of life
When it's late at night and you're all alone
With the one you love
Turn on the late night news and cry
Tears for all the lost and lonely people
Innocents in prime time
(Tragedies) of our life
(Tragedies) of our life

People stare and then they walk away
But there's always a few who'll stay
From the state I watch 'em close their eyes
Like a little kid trying to hide
Like they're somewhere ain't supposed to be
Watching something they ain't supposed to see
Giving in to the undertow
In the dark at the sideshow
I'm the singer at the sideshow
It's a place that orphans go
Far away from the bright lights
Hard to find on a dark night
Another truly troubled troubadour
Writing songs to even up the score
A tune for every single body flow
And I sing 'em at the sideshow
Who likes to think about their pain
Most people would avoid the rain
A sunny song will help you make it through
But constant whistling is hard to do
Too many songs about happiness
Leave me sad, lonely, and depressed
A million miles from the radio
You can find me at the side show
I make my living at the sideshow
It's a place that orphans go
Far away from the bright lights
Hard to find on a dark night
Another truly troubled troubadour
Writing songs to even up the score
A tune for every single body blow
And I sing 'em at the side show
I make a living at the sideshow
It's a place that the wounded go
Far away from the Bright lights
Hard to find on a dark night
YOU CAN FIND US
Another truly troubled troubadour
AT THE SIDESHOW
Writing songs to even up the score
YEA, ME
A tune for every single body blow
AND THE BUFFALO
And I sing 'em at the sideshow
YOU CAN FIND US
Back in the corner where the sad songs flow

Come in, take a chair
Nothing else to do out there
Is what you want, what you need
Decisions made in privacy
Step right up and name your game
Take a chance, pick a card, any card
I'll guess your age, I'll name your fate
Don't be shy I'm waiting
Come to the sideshow
Come to the sideshow, yeah
Come to the sideshow
Come and get your mind blown, yeah
Mysterious and curious
Boredom is so serious
The red velvet curtain draws
There's no way to hide your flaws
Now you've come to see your show
It feels like what you've learned ain't vogue
Do you know what you're looking at
Can you see what is staring back
You're in the sideshow
Come to the sideshow, yeah
Come to the sideshow
Come and get your mind blown, yeah
The government, firmament, spearmint, double mint
Handshaking, green berets, looking cool and talking sharp
And you say this and that and that ain't where it's at
Time can wash away the fears
Stay away from the devil's tears
Get off your knees and on your feet
Can you feel the heartbeat
Come to the sideshow
Come to the sideshow, yeah
Come to the sideshow
Come and get your mind blown, yeah
Time can wash away the fears
Stay away from the devil's tears
Off your knees and on your feet
Don't be shy I'm waiting
Come to the sideshow
Come to the sideshow, yeah
Come to the sideshow
Come and get your mind blown, yeah
Come to the sideshow
Come to the sideshow, yeah
Come to the sideshow
Come and get your mind blown, yeah
Come to the sideshow
You're in the sideshow
Come to the sideshow
Come and get your mind blown
Come to the sideshow
Come and get your mind blown, yeah
Come to the sideshow
Come get your mind blown

Your brain's a fuckin' thimble with a slow leak
Your thoughts are so fucking shallow
That a mouse couldn't drown
It makes me sick to hear the words you speak
When we both know when you talk
There's nothing underneath
So you look into my face and say
"Why do you act this way?"
You want the truth
It's sad but true
Society screwed me and so did you
Shun me cuz I'm not part of your act
Well you'll never understand what you have done
Time will tell whether you are worthy
I've touched you all in one way or another
I could show you so much more
If you'd open your eyes and your faith
Sideshow in my mind
Twisting and smashing the thorn in my side
Your innocence was lost without a trace
Stolen by a foolish embrace
I'm very good at what I do
Deep inside you know it's true
I can show you so much

This goes beyond your tepid standards
There is no crusade
It's just whats there
It's all right here
It's all around
This life shatters and I feed of the vibes
Deepthroated emotions
Your tears incite
I'm stained I'm marked and I'm scarred
But I rise baby all the time!
I've burned countless s to survive
And I [censored] anytime!
Enter my sideshow
My rusty per playground
Nothing could please me more
