Quiet desperation ain't my goddamn scene
I don't know if you can follow me
But you bought a ticket so i guess we're gonna see
My friends!
To the wine and to the stage!
If you squander your precious beautiful days
That makes you a sucker
You don't want to be a sucker do you?
To the quitters and the complainers
If we never meet again
Remember when –-

All the world was a stage dive
All the world loved a clown
Knowing how the clown hated them
And all the clowns in the house
Stared up at the stage
They used to get so mad
The had such a good thing that day
But at the last minute it just sort of went bad

They lost their nerve
They just went straight
They didn't have the balls to hold it down and
They brought everybody else right down with them
While clowns must stand
