lyrics

Hit the lights, draw the curtains
Are you ready for the show
Don't speak a word
Save that for later
All are welcome to the show

Tonight's the night it's going down
So bring your friends and join the crowd
Get hypnotized by the lights and sounds
There's something for all to see

On the stage you won't believe
The greatest acts that you've never seen
But behind the scenes it's so obscene
It's business as usual

A circus act of hoops and rings
Where players play and singers sing
Distracts you from the many things
Oh

Meet the man behind it all
He stinks of drink but he never falls
He holds his date like a crutch for aid
Though she's far below the consenting age
That's the last thing on his mind

Come one, come all, gather round
Look at the faces in the crowd
Look at all those hands
That won't take no for an answer

Hear the bands, dance along
If you know the words sing along
But let their melodies just take you away
Take it away

So clap your hands, sing along
Have a drink cause it won't take long
Go put this up your nose, no questions
Questions are cause for concern

You can trust everybody here
Look at me I know everybody here
That's right, go have a drink from his magic cup
It'll be the best night you'll never remember

(That's right folks
For the price of admission
We can make all of your nightmares
Come true

Due to budget cuts
We'll be having to pay the band
In the opportunity to play tonight
But they're fine with it I bet)

Mama, how could they do this to me
I don't remember a thing
Or what they did to me
How the fuck could this happen
How could they not see
Why was nobody out there
Looking for me
All they did was turn a blind eye
Blaming me when I ask why
Mama, I want to go home
Mama, I should've never
Went to the show
