Livin' in this modern world everything goes to hell  Rioting in the streets, I'm livin' by my law  Running an endless race to society's constant struggle  Rip it up, tear it down, forget toilet trouble  Why am I losing sleep so many problems need solved  Fighting an endless battle on and on and on  Sometimes I really think that maybe I should do the same  I just can't seem to get it right time and time again  I've got the key to the clownhouse, it's mine and mine alone  I'll open the door and jump right in when I feel alone  Life is just a freak show and how much can one take?  Welcome to the center ring a world of fucking snakes  The sick, the homeless, no set guarantees  Starving in the cold in the streets a part of you and me  Challenge time, break the ice, give this world a song  Hold the key in the palm of your hand and still we break the law  The story of a man who lives in a cardboard box  He's tangles and he's webbed all up where do I get off?  Livin' on travsted hope he's caught himself depression  Use the power of the human mind to destroy all your pressure  Society's clownhouse and everyone's a freak  Just paint a smile on the poeple's face you won't even see their frown  Life is just a circus and now it's your turn to play  It's an artificial world you're livin' in today  An old lady was hit by a car another hit and run  Used to live in a trash can amongst the whining scum  The world to her was just as black as night  Now she lies dead in the street with a pie in her face
