lyrics

UNHINGED
words and music by Neal Fox

1. Was a year like no other
When the circus came to town
The Zebras all conspired
With the Freaks and with the Clowns

The mothers hid their children
From the Politician’s cage
Some cowed in the corner
From the “Oh, so righteous rage”

2. Clown faces all distorted
Like the words they had to shout
Their meanings all contorted
As they kicked the sane ones out

The papers had their orders
On the violence, they binged
They lit the fires of hatred
Then we all became UNHINGED

CHORUS
UNHINGED, UNHINGED

3. Then the Cheetahs found the weapons
And they started running wild
The Clowns came ‘round to help them
Then they killed a baby child

The Politicians let them
When it served their greater plan
It was the same infectious virus
Ever since the world began

4. Then they made us hide our faces
From our neck up to our eyes
Then they kicked us out of places
And they frightened us with lies

And the Circus grew in numbers
And the audience all cringed
As they watched from (in) their cages
And they all became UNHINGED
CHORUS
UNHINGED, UNHINGED

5. Then the Party of Love and Peace
Said, “Let the show begin!”
And the animals and clowns
Claimed it’s payback for your sins

The destruction ruled the night
As the fires lit the sky
The people, from inside their cages
Tried to find a reason why

6. The Law had their hands tied
They couldn’t do a thing
The people sat and wondered
What the morning sun would bring

The News said “It’s a Protest.
“They have the right to burn it down.”
They justified the killing and the looting
It’s payback, when the circus comes to town

CHORUS

7. For months the fire rages
As they watched the 3 ring act
But some had left their cages
And they found the balls they lacked

I can’t tell you how it ended
How many lives the fire singed
All I know is what can happen
When the world becomes UNHINGED
