Jeers of a Clown

Always wanna be the one

To fall on his ass

Never scared to take a dive

In the name of a gas

"Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke"

Could probably find a worse creed

But a joke ain't what they want

Maybe a fuck is what they need

When the rubber nose ain't bouncing right

When the huge shoes start feeling tight

My knee-slap becomes a sideswipe

That's when I face the jeers of a clown

The times I drank too much

The old advice don't wash

"Be a clown, be a clown,"

But man, not when you're sloshed

I really really meant it

When I said your hair was nice

Seems my former friends

Are forgetting my serious side

When the rubber nose ain't bouncing right

When the huge shoes start feeling tight

My knee-slap becomes a sideswipe

That's when I face the jeers of a clown

Keeping them in stitches

Kind of takes on a whole new twist

When that dork didn't get the joke

When I called his ho a bitch

Yeah the lessons I learned today

I learned way too late

Seems for every punchline I hit

I take one to the face

When the rubber nose ain't bouncing right

When the huge shoes start feeling tight

My knee-slap becomes a sideswipe

That's when I face the jeers of a clown
