Knock me off

Oh! Will you look at me

One day I was sleeping

Next day I’m here

Brought in kicking and screaming

Now I’m a buffoon

Like all of you

This is simply absurd

Behind the curtain there is lore

So without further ado

Welcome to the show!

It’s all glitz and glam

One enormous glow

Don’t worry about the explosions

Nor disturb yourself with the gore

It’s all in good fun

It’s the Earth expo!

Tent is up, lights are on

Welcome all to the pantheon

The big spectacle, full of twinkling dreams

Glowing mirrors, new and pristine

All is well under the pavilion

Pleasantry follows, just obey the rules

Do not be fools

Rebels here tend to fall off their stools

Exhibits are up

Everything perfect, shiny and new

No flaws

It’s just our world

Made of sparkling dust

Oh! Look at that glossy one!

All pretty and pristine

Not one spot

Not one scratch

Perfection to the dot!

Keep on looking,

Desire rampant with lust

Oh! What a surprise

Nothing is what it seams

It’s really just rotten to the core

So why do we want more

Everywhere you look

Skittering animals all about

‘Round around they go

This is the big circus

Under an enormous canvas we are

Galavanting under a watchful eye

Up above like a light

The eternal sun

Up in the sky

Who will one day burn us all

Leaving nothing behind

But not to worry

Just go from exhibit to exhibit

Pick and choose

Walk on over and mooch over there

Meander next to that heir

Relax my friends

There is no care

Just keep on galavanting

Until you hit that snare

It’s insanity this dance

A macabre maneuver

Perfect for another shot

Perfect for another round

In this gimmick we are stuck

Wiggle and shake

It does not matter

Unravel those bones until they break

Next day you’ll wake up

Stuck again in this big mistake

So I think I’ll just rebel

Go ahead

Knock me around

Slap me insane

Leave me with nothing but drool

My head left spinning

Many a thing I have been considered

None of them a fool

So go ahead

Just knock me off my stool
