THE MONEY CLOWN BAND (Lyrics)
It is Winter
and the fashion has changed
to keep our audience
we play The Money Clown Game
We are The Money Clown Band
The trouble with money is
that we don't have it
and we'll wear anything
to get it
We are the money-clown band
When we dress up
in our reeboks and ties
and look like bankers
on their way to the circus
We are The Money Clown Band
You can say anything you like
they know you're so primitive
you don't know what are the words
in the cartoon speech bubble
hypnotized by the glorified television, cash flow,
mega star, big shot, asshole
picking in the pockets of a helpless cripple
picking on each other
like rats on a sinking ship
thinking it's power
when you commit murder
Peace!
comes from the barrel of a gun
said the chairman Mao
but the gun is run by the big business
government military madmen
And we?
Do the entertainment!
We are second hand dandies
and travel on perfect maps
always breaking new ground
like the camel's back
We are The Money Clown Band
The truth is an endless depth
plenty there for us to sell
we blow our horn on the desert shield
and sing along for human rights
Our history is bought and sold
CNN got the rights
and we almost feel our apathy
is the luxury of death
We are The Money Clown Band
