Sideshow

Your word is paper thin
 You told your children they could reach for the stars
 Then fed them Ritalin
 And popped their futures into VCRs
 Now they're walking on the ocean floor thinking they can swim
 Now they're walking on the ocean floor thinking they can swim
 As the earth swallows them
 You convince yourself that they asked for it
 Your ignorance must be bliss
 Oh!
 But for everyone else it's the worst
 It's living across from the circus
 Running right into your fist
 Oh!
 And I'm starting to think it's on purpose
 Believe it or not, we deserve this
 For sleeping at the sideshow

 Your paper has no pen
 You only parrot your ambassador's lines
 And somehow stomach them
 Maybe it's easy when the crime scene's blocked by dollar signs
 Ayy
 You go knocking on the devil's door, he's gonna let you in
 You go knocking on the devil's door, he's gonna let you in
 And now you live with him
 Yet you've convinced yourself he doesn't exist
 Your ignorance must be bliss
 Oh!
 But for everyone else it's the worst
 It's living across from the circus
 Running right into your fist
 Oh!
 And I'm starting to think it's on purpose
 Believe it or not, we deserve this

 Your tent is caving in
 You'd rather suffocate than claw your way out
 So save the oxygen
 Cover your nose and stick your foot in your mouth (ayy)
 Now you're sweating as the seventh horn sounds inside your head (sounds inside your head)
 You're sweating as the seventh horn sounds inside your head (sounds inside your head)
 Until you're deaf to it
 'Cause you've convinced yourself it doesn't exist
 Your ignorance must be bliss
 Oh!
 But for everyone else it's the worst
 It's living across from the circus
 Running right into your fist
 Oh!

 Our teeth are pressed against the pavement
 Your head is buried in the sand
 You pledge allegiance to your placement
 And I will never understand
 Why we're sleeping at the sideshow
 Sleeping in the side show
 Still sleeping in the sideshow
 Sleeping in the sideshow
 I'm sick of sleeping in the sideshow
