lyrics

Roll up for the circus
It’s come to everyone’s town
Pirouetting obscenely
Let’s laugh at the circus clown
See his collapsing car
The steering wheel the bumper the lights
He takes everything apart as you watch
And the puppet men stay out of sight

And good men do nothing
Good men do nothing
Yeah good men do nothing
They all do nothing

See his friends come to help him
There’s cotton candy on sticks
They take the clown’s house apart now
Every window and every brick
Don’t listen to his trumpet and his rattle
Don’t ever let this clown back to dance
Let’s get some repairs done
To give this tumbledown ruin a chance

Good men do something… please!

And hey there Mr Mitch you say you feel this itch
I think that‘s how your story goes
Well now’s the time to scratch it brother
Or maybe you just can’t find your nose

Cos good men do nothing

His supporters fly the confederate flag
They like things white and not black or brown
You say you don’t like the circus
So why did you elect a clown?

Good men do nothing
Yeah good men do nothing
They all do nothing

Let’s all just sit on our hands
Warm them before we kiss our ass goodbye
Cos that’s all it takes
That good men do nothing

And Rob from Ohio says inexcusable and reckless
Well don’t you know Rob words are cheap
And Shelly we can’t wait for history to judge
This is the here and now do something

Meanwhile good men do nothing

And it looks like you’ll do it again right?
You say you don’t like the clown
But one day he’ll roll back into town
He’ll pitch his tent again
And you’ll crawl back inside

That’s right
