Roll up to the land of the free
With orders to obey
Step into a world of clowns
Elite in every way
Whiteface fake painted smile
Born into pretend
Pacifying all around
In darkness world descends
We only see what they want us to
We only read what they want us to read
We only hear what they want us to
They wanna make us bleed
Bow down to the clowns
When the circus comes to town
Bow down to the clowns
Watch the puppets dance and drown
Who's wearing the crown
Pulling strings we all fall down
Bow down to the clowns
It's the greatest fucking show in town
Stand up for the star attraction
A carnival of freaks
Walking through a ring of fire
A masked pretender speaks
Hands clap sugar candy lies
Fear becomes a friend
Step up to the carousel
The magic never ends
We only see what they want us to
We only read what they want us to read
We only hear what they want us to
They wanna make us bleed
Bow down to the clowns
When the circus comes to town
Bow down to the clowns
Watch the puppets dance and drown
Who's wearing the crown
Pulling strings we all fall down
Bow down to the clowns
It's the greatest fucking show in town
Obey control divide defeat
Obey control divide defeat
Obey control divide defeat
Obey control divide and delete
Ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to the land of the free
Bring along your sons and daughters
Step into the new world order
We only see what they want us to
We only read what they want us to read
We only hear what they want us to
They wanna make us bleed
Bow down to the clowns
When the circus comes to town
Bow down to the clowns
Watch the puppets dance and drown
Who's wearing the crown
Pulling strings we all fall down
Bow down to the clowns
It's the greatest fucking show in town
