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 For sleeping at the sideshow 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! And I'm starting to think it's on purpose Believe it or not, we deserve this For sleeping at the sideshow 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 I'm sick of sleeping in the sideshow I'm sick of sleeping
