[Verse 1]
I saw that clown on screen
All red tie, big machine
Talking like a king for free
Lookin' like a bad TV
He tripped on his own big grin
Kept sellin' noise as wisdom
I stared, then I had to laugh
What a mess in a flag
[Pre-Chorus]
So weird
So loud
So proud
So weird
I shook my head and said
"Man, what a joke instead"
[Chorus]
What a weird little scene
What a weird little scene
I laughed till I cried
At his paper-thin dream
What a weird little scene
What a weird little scene
He puffed up big
Then fell flat on the screen
[Verse 2]
He strutted like a palace cat
But every word came out all splat
Big talk, small brain, same old game
Same cheap tricks, different name
I pointed and the room went off
Like, "Nah, that's enough, enough"
He made himself the punchline first
I just helped the joke get worse
[Pre-Chorus]
So weird
So bright
So off tonight
So weird
I laughed out loud
He wore the crown of clown
[Chorus]
What a weird little scene
What a weird little scene
I laughed till I cried
At his paper-thin dream
What a weird little scene
What a weird little scene
He puffed up big
Then fell flat on the screen
[Bridge]
Now everybody saw it too
The costume split, the act ran through
All that noise, all that show
Then poof, gone in the smoke
[Final Chorus]
What a weird little scene
What a weird little scene
I laughed till I cried
At his paper-thin dream
What a weird little scene
What a weird little scene
He puffed up big
Then fell flat on the screen
