Bozo's Lament - Jonathan Coulton

I guess because my name is Bozo

I was destined to be a clown

But when I joined the traveling circus

I didn’t think that it would bring me down

Make me angry like a sniper in a tower

And every Saturday

I take off my nose and say never more

Pie in my face

(Pie in my face)

Five days a work week

(Pie in my face)

It’s in my face

Pie in my face

It sucks to be a clown

I should have been a lion tamer

Those guys get all the girls

In a cage in satin tights

In a mane of golden curls

Everybody loves the guy who lives in danger

But in the center ring

I’m safe from everything except for

Pie in my face

(Pie in my face)

Five days a workweek

(Pie in my face)

It’s in my face

Pie in my face

It sucks to be a clown

The other night I dreamed of Arthur

Ex-human-cannonball

In the dream he asked the question

Do I fly or do I fall?

What’s the difference

Either way he’s still a dead man

And he’s finally free

No longer has to be up on stage

Pie in my face

(Pie in my face)

Five days a workweek

(Pie in my face)

It’s in my face

Pie in my face

It sucks to be a clown

(Pie in my face)

Yeah it sucks to be a clown

(Pie in my face)

Should have never been a clown

(Pie in my face)

'Cause it sucks to be a clown
