Oingo Boingo - Clowns Of Death lyrics

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 or the tides that

Turn the day

I'm the one who always turns and looks away

Turns and looks away

[chorus 1]

Because after allwe are only boys

Because after allwe are only boys

Will be boys will be boys will be boys

Will be boys will be boys will be boys will be boys

Will be boys will be boys will be boys

Will be boys will be boys will be boys

Will be boys will be boys will 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 lineyeah

March along in line

Andwe'll move upon the world in a massive tidal wave

And we'll shout and make some noiseyeah

Shout and make some noise

[chorus 1]

[chorus 2]

The clowns of death are marching on their hideous parade

Their glaring eyes are filled with hatebut I am not afraid

Their painted faces cracked with agetheir 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

Andwe'll move upon the world in a massive tidal wave

And we'll shout and make some noiseyeah

Shout and make some noise

[chorus 1]

[chorus 2]

Your sons and daughtersinnocentlay sleeping in their beds

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

If you think it just a dreamor that it isn't fair

Just look around outside your doorthe clowns are everywhere
