The Majestic, Magnificent Clown World



Welcome my friend, it's marvellous here
Don’t just stand around and peer
Step right in mate, have no fear
It’s exquisite, intricate, strange and queer
It’s like you drank a magic beer
A lucid dream that you can steer
An acid trip you engineer
The impossible will soon appear
Anti-gnomes with rainbow spears
An octopus god in an alien sphere

To stay in here the cost is mere
A virus means the end is near
It’s effects are so severe
You simply have to volunteer
And take your little shots my dear
Don’t be selfish or make us sneer
You’ll kill your gran without this gear
Your ratty tests will all be clear
No more schwabs stuck up your rear
Don’t believe the lies and smear
We took ours and we’re still here
You remember we were freer
Dont make this last another year
Roll up your sleeves just like your peers
Do it now and make us cheer
You’ll be a vaccine pioneer

The DNA strands begin to shear
And block the artery behind your ear
Your head explodes, blood spurts and smears
Your entire universe disappears
Your Facebook friends they shed no tears
I told you it was queer in here
