Clowns Of Death Songtext / Lyric

I'm the one who preys upon the weakest

And the weakest always preys

Upon the one who's underneath



I'm the one who doesn't see

The waves of human kindness

And the tides that turn the day



I'm the one who always

Turns and looks away

Turns and looks away



Because after all, we are only boys

Because after all, we are only boys

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys



We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys



I'm the one treads upon

The weaker ones

Those that I can find






And there'll always be some others

Who could march along in line, yeah

March along in line



And, we'll move upon the world

In a massive tidal wave

And we'll shout and make some noise, yeah

Shout and make some noise



Because after all, we are only boys

Because after all, we are only boys

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys



We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys



The clowns of death are marching on their hideous parade

Their glaring eyes are filled with hate but I am not afraid

Their painted faces cracked with age, their makeup old and worn

With tattered wings and toothy grins to amplify their scorn



They're looking for the helpless ones

They're looking for the misbegotten

They prey upon the weak and fractured

The crippled and the freaks of nature



And when the come upon one who's lost or is alone

Their smiles get even bigger and their noses start to glow

Making snarling sounds to pantomime with furious abandon

And with a scream they pounce to kill and all the while they're laughing



I'm the one treads upon the weaker ones

Those that I can find

And there'll always be some others

Who will march along in line



And we'll move upon the world

In a massive tidal wave

And we'll shout and make some noise, yeah

Shout and make some noise



Because after all, we are only boys

Because after all, we are only boys

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys



We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys



The clowns of death are marching on their hideous parade

Their glaring eyes are filled with hate but I am not afraid

Their painted faces cracked with age, their makeup old and worn

With tattered wings and toothy grins to amplify their scorn



They're looking for the helpless ones

They're looking for the misbegotten

They prey upon the weak and fractured

The crippled and the freaks of nature



Your sons and daughters, innocent, lay sleeping in their beds

They'll catch them when you're not around and smash their little heads

If you think it just a dream or that it isn't fair

Just look around outside your door, the clowns are everywhere
