Lyrics

One notable scene
From an old DVD
Popped into my head that day
I was initially amused
Until it wouldn't go away
So finally I decide
To take the time
I thought I’d try to verify
If the truth and my mind
Were still aligned
Skip most the way to the end
Hit play
Bi-centennial cake
Kicking off the parade
As 80’s dance music plays
And on top by a throne with crown
We see a purple dancing clown
He struts and pumps
His arms from up above
He asks the crowd “Who do you trust”?
Could've sworn he said ‘love’
That's close enough
Before the money flies out to the crowd
Hit pause
Now If I wanted to rewind
I'm pretty sure I’d find
That everyone was given ample time
To learn the clown was bad
But those in the streets
In all their greed
Just why couldn't they see?
Back then, that made me sad
But I feel a new way, from today
Hit play
We see an endless supply
Of twirling cash in the sky
As the clown and his floats pass by
And I couldn't understand
How those people never questioned why
And then the clown reveals the big surprise
He’s out of lies
Says that it's time
To now end all their lives
They're all despised
When they learn what he said
It's too late
They’re dead
Now In the moments that they had left
As they run away in dread
I find myself trying to guess instead
Just what's going through their heads
As the poison spreads
Do they regret
Anything that led
Them to their awful end?
And I used to believe that they did
But I can't anymore
Learned the issue at the core
They just aren't as good as I was told they were
If the parade took place
On a more recent date
Would everything stay the same?
I wonder what those in the crowd
Would be doing earlier that day
Would they be caking makeup on their face
Just to enrage all those they hate?
Posting memes of the clown on their favorite page?
Did their families try to persuade
Them not to go to the parade
With tears in their eyes, presenting facts that state
The clown is utterly depraved
That he’s as bad as all they say
And if you love us, please promise us you’ll stay
And without a care, they go out anyway
“They can't tell me what to do”, they’d say
To themselves on their way to make the same mistakes
And I found I’m now glad they got what they deserved that day
