Oingo Boingo - Clowns Of Death Lyrics
Im the one who preys upon the weakestAnd the weakest always preys upon the one whos underneathIm the one who doesnt see the waves of human kindness or the tides thatTurn the dayIm the one who always turns and looks awayTurns and looks away[chorus 1]Because after all, we are only boysBecause after all, we are only boysWill be boys will be boys will be boysWill be boys will be boys will be boys will be boysWill be boys will be boys will be boysWill be boys will be boys will be boysWill be boys will be boys will be boysIm the one treads upon the weaker onesThose that I can findAnd therell always be some others who could march along in line, yeahMarch along in lineAnd, well move upon the world in a massive tidal waveAnd well shout and make some noise, yeahShout and make some noise[chorus 1][chorus 2]The clowns of death are marching on their hideous paradeTheir glaring eyes are filled with hate, but I am not afraidTheir painted faces cracked with age, their makeup old and wornWith tattered wings and toothy grins to amplify their scornTheyre looking for the helpless onesTheyre looking for the misbegottenThey prey upon the weak and fracturedThe crippled and the freaks of natureAnd when the come upon one whos lost or is aloneTheir smiles get even bigger and their noses start to glowMaking snarling sounds to pantomime with furious abandonAnd with a scream they pounce to kill and all the while theyre laughingIm the one treads upon the weaker onesThose that I can findAnd therell always be some others who will march along in lineAnd, well move upon the world in a massive tidal waveAnd well shout and make some noise, yeahShout and make some noise[chorus 1][chorus 2]Your sons and daughters, innocent, lay sleeping in their bedsTheyll catch them when youre not around and smash their little headsIf you think it just a dream, or that it isnt fairJust look around outside your door, the clowns are everywhere
