I play the clown for you
 
 Entertaining, absurd hue
 
 And I watch them laugh, I'd love to
 
 See them clap and dance to my tune
 
 
 Blowing up like a red giant, expansive, a star
 
 And I'm coming to burn this down and laugh my ass off
 
 
 All my children sing it again and again
 
 'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winnin' 'em over
 
 Amen
 
 
 I act on stage up here
 
 Toying with your own fears
 
 Misdirection I'm so near
 
 Simple sleight of hand, in the clear
 
 
 Blowing up like a red giant, expansive, a star
 
 And I'm coming to burn this down and laugh my ass off
 
 
 All my children sing it again and again
 
 'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winnin' 'em over
 
 Amen
 
 
 Too late now, show's over
 
 Real life is much closer
 
 Take the makeup off, you wonder
 
 Why I look the same, only bolder
 
 
 Blowing up like a red giant, expansive, a star
 
 And I'm coming to burn this down and laugh my ass off
 
 
 All my children sing it again and again
 
 'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winnin' 'em over
 
 Amen
 
 
 All my children sing it again and again
 
 'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winnin' 'em over
 
 Amen
