about

A lament for the erosion of true traditional liberal values, diversity of ideas, free speech and libertarian tolerance.

Liberal democracy is not the default state for mankind, our history is brutal, and blood soaked so it really concerns me to see these values being dismantled by blind zealous fools egged on by a lying duplicitous media and moronic self-aggrandising politicians.

If your idea of tolerance is tolerating people whose ideas and values are in lock step with yours, I have bad news; that’s not tolerance and certainly not liberal.

Chorus

Clown World, we’re living in clown world
So I wonder why, everybody cries
Clown world, we’ve turned in to clown world
So why does nobody laugh any more
And fight with each other to get out the door

V1

Where do you begin?
To describe the mess we’re in
Up is down, down is up
And we never seem to have enough

Cursing at the past
Clubbing it hard and fast
As if there were never anything there
Anything about which we really should care

V2

How did we survive?
How did we stay alive?
In that unenlightened age
In all our heathen rage

I wonder how it will end?
We divide and divide again
Until we’re standing in groups of one
Staring at the black sun

Chorus

V3

Tell me why you cry?
And why you want to die?
An existential crisis
Is not a crisis at all

Please see that they tell you lies
And find the joy inside
Reach down in your soul
Take back some control

V4

Look at the way the crowd is running today
And pick up and run the other way
A conforming non-conformist
Conforms just the same

I wonder how it will end?
We divide and divide again
Until we’re standing in groups of one
Staring at the black sun

Chorus

Bridge

Don’t tell me now that you are suffering
Cos I’ve heard it all before
And don’t think that you are a warrior for the truth
You serve the evil wizard who’s hiding behind the door
