Come see the greatest show as advertised on radio

Sell your soul to come join in the circus

The anthem plays you stand beneath candy coated command

Here, hide behind this smiling paint - that's perfect

For the real world - what's so real about

In the real world - don your circus habit

It's the greatest show on earth and in heaven

From the time of birth they taught you to believe

and do and say and act to fulfill their desires

And now we're all screwed up

An overflowing alcoholic loving cup

drink it up - jump through the ring of fire

In the real world - what's so real about it

In the real world - don your circus habit

It's the greatest show on earth and in heaven

Locked inside the lions cage for your entertainment

Death defying fits of rage for your entertainment

The performance of your life for your entertainment

In the greatest show on earth and if I sell me short

Then I'm just another severed cord

Catatonically deaf, dumb, and simple

In the real world - what's so real about it

In the real world - don your circus habit

It's the greatest show on earth
