The Big Show
Have you heard the word
About the show that came to town
While you were sleeping in your bed
It's gonna really rock your world
They won't say who's going to play
On that monstrous massive stage
But you can try and try and try
But you won't find a seat to buy
It's the biggest fucking show
This town has ever seen
But you'll be lucky
To buy a tee shirt
There's a billion watts of sound
And speakers all around
They're setting up for a million
Rabid fans
But nobody can find a ticket
To get them through the checkpoint
It's the goddamn strangest thing
You've ever seen
But suddenly it occurs to me
That we're the show they've come to see
Something big is going down
And we might never see another dawn
It's the show of the century
A fight for life for you and me
A million folks have come around
To see
Well I hate like hell to disappoint
But I don't intend to die
To entertain some paying fucking fan
That wants to watch the world end
In miniature
I'll shoot and stab and gouge and burn
Those silly fans are gonna learn
That I won't just lie down and
And die on cue
I'll take some of them to hell with me
So pay your money
And take your seat
You've just become a piece of meat
And you might not make it to the encore
Just go away and leave us be
We want no part of what you call entertainment
We'll just go back to our version of peace
And live and live
Until the next threat comes to town
About the show that came to town
While you were sleeping in your bed
It's gonna really rock your world
They won't say who's going to play
On that monstrous massive stage
But you can try and try and try
But you won't find a seat to buy
It's the biggest fucking show
This town has ever seen
But you'll be lucky
To buy a tee shirt
There's a billion watts of sound
And speakers all around
They're setting up for a million
Rabid fans
But nobody can find a ticket
To get them through the checkpoint
It's the goddamn strangest thing
You've ever seen

That we're the show they've come to see
