Freak show of the 21st century
Ladies and gentlemen
Boys and girls of all ages
Step right up because
Boy do we have a show for you.
Our first act of the night will be
Little Billy on the tight rope of our shattered youth
And while he’s at it lets throw in our lion man
Battling “raped culture” the big and ferocious
now that’s not all folks
we have Samantha the contortionist
bending around every idea of ordinary you can throw at her
welcome to the freak show of the 21st century
where john swallows swords
sharper than your word
and Morgan can breathe fire hotter than your stares and glares.
Jonah and Noah the Siamese twins blended together better than the races of this world
And let me tell you that’s sad,
Because they argue more than anyone I know.
We’ve got all you can imagine.
A girl who thinks she’s beautiful
A guy who thinks he’s strong.
A little kid playing with a water gun without fear
We’ve got it all right here
Because out there
People would point
People would stare
Because they aren’t used to seeing this.
So ladies and gentlemen
Boys and girls
Be sure to tell your friends and family
Of the miraculous things you’ve seen here tonight.
And be sure to come back again
Because with the way the world is turning out
We’ll be sure to have a new act soon.
