Bozo Skeleton — текст песни (Lard)

(Lyrics: Jeff Ward & Biafra)
Here today, gone tomorrow
Don`t need my self remembered
But what I help create and leave behind
Is important to me
To dent the comfortably numb
With constructive satire
Make my life one big prank
On a society I hate
All that we are when we`re on a stage
Is vaudeville jester for a day
As an old proverb says
If every fool wore a crown, we should all be king
My license to make fun of everyone
Comes from knowing I`m the biggest joke of all
Read a headline the other day
Clown dies from a pie in the face
Can`t be on stage all the time
The public image could swallow my life
Living up to your own myth`s no fun
Drives our best talents nuts
Bozo skeleton
Bozo skeleton
Bozo skeleton
Where can I go to be me?
Washington Stepford wives
Think we`d be Stepford children
If they could do away
With the music we love the most
Lyrics warp your children`s minds
- Just a minute now, that`s our job -
Your worst enemy`s your own kids
Don`t talk with them, buy our lies instead
Don`t wanna hear Lee Atwater sing the blues
Got a right to sing my way too
Gagging those who tell it like it is
Won`t make the problems go away
C`mon get the skeletons out of the closet
We`re all clowns in one form or another
If we weren`t hung up minding peoples` private lives
We might not be so afraid of ourselves
All kinds of drugs get fed into our heads
Who are you to legislate what`s best
Never heard my music or read all the words
Is it my heart they want to ban
Bozo skeleton
Bozo skeleton
Bozo skeleton
Where can I go to be me?
