World of Clowns
There's no reasonable explanation
To how this all went down
When the world woke up one morning
All made up as clowns
Not a single person in the world
Did this phenomenon not claim
With big red buttons on their chests
Spelling out new funny names
There was Patches and Petunia
Floppy and Cupcake
Winky and Bumper the Clown
Were just a few that they displayed
Everyone went about their business
Only now they all carpooled
You could see clowns piling out of cars everywhere
From businesses to stores to schools
Crime it did die down
Because all the guns that people have
Instead of shooting bullets
Shoot out brightly colored Big Bang Flags
Of course the circus lost its glamour
With an audience made up of clowns
It's hard to tell who's there enjoying
And who's entertaining all the crowds
People stopped taking each other seriously
Over anything they had to say
Pointing at each other and laughing
As they go about their day
Who knew a thing like this would happen
When the world went to bed last night
That the very next morning
They'd wake up clowns for life
Oh, I almost forgot the Politicians
Were the only ones to stay the same
It's already a simple known fact
When your a clown you don't need to change
