Life is a circus

Life is a circus,
And the clowns are in control.
The knife throwers and puppeteers
Are standing back to watch the show.

The elephants are on the loose,
Rampaging around the town
The monkey with an accordian
Is on the roof and won't come down.

If buddha was a nihilist,
He might have seen some fun in this
Jesus christ has left the building,
Leaving us in quite a fix.

Life is a circus,
And the clowns are in control
The ringmaster's broken down in tears,
And the juggler's have no balls to throw

The high wire is on the ground (has been brought down low),
While the aerialists are out in space
The acrobats just stood there laughing While THE bearded lady shaved off her face

If buddha was a nihilist,
He might have seen some fun in this
Jesus christ has left the building,
Leaving us in quite a fix.

I wake up in the morning,
I watch the news on the TV
Some fool out in Vegas,
Claims that he just met ET.

There's a war on in Europe,
You'd think that they would fix their mess
But the clowns just started dancing,
And the audience could not care less

If buddha was a nihilist,
He might have seen some fun in this
Jesus christ has left the building,
And the audience is mighty pissed

If buddha was a nihilist,
He might have found some peace in this
Jesus christ has left the building,
And his encore will not be missed.
