[Verse 1]
Painted face
Cracked in the mirror
Cheap red grin
Over old fear
Big shoes drag
Through the backstage dust
Every joke
Built on rust
[Chorus]
I’m a clown
So don’t frown
Laugh it up while we burn this down (hey!)
Turn your pain to a punchline
Baby
Bleed in color on a dead-end town
I’m a clown
So don’t frown
If we’re going out
We go loud right now
[Verse 2]
Balloon in one hand
Rage in the other
Kids all stare
Like I’m some monster
Tears cut tracks
Through the white on my skin
But I wipe ‘em off
Draw the smile back in
[Chorus]
I’m a clown
So don’t frown
Laugh it up while we burn this down (scream it!)
Turn your pain to a punchline
Baby
Bleed in color on a dead-end town
I’m a clown
So don’t frown
If we’re going out
We go loud right now
[Bridge]
Do you see the joke
Or just the mask?
If the world’s this cruel
Then I’ll just laugh
[Chorus]
I’m a clown
So don’t frown
Laugh it up while we burn this down (hey!)
Turn your pain to a punchline
Baby
Bleed in color on a dead-end town
I’m a clown
So don’t frown
If we’re going out
We go loud right now (right now)
