Knock Me Off
Oh! Will you look at me
One day I was sleeping
Next day I’m here
Brought in kicking and screaming
Now I’m a buffoon
Like all of you
This is simply absurd
Behind the curtain there is lore
So without further ado
Welcome to the show!
It’s all glitz and glam
One enormous glow
Don’t worry about the explosions
Nor disturb yourself with the gore
It’s all in good fun
It’s the Earth expo!
Tent is up, lights are on
Welcome all to the pantheon
The big spectacle, full of twinkling dreams
Glowing mirrors, new and pristine
All is well under the pavilion
Pleasantry follows, just obey the rules
Do not be fools
Rebels here tend to fall off their stools
Exhibits are up
Everything perfect, shiny and new
No flaws
It’s just our world
Made of sparkling dust
Oh! Look at that glossy one!
All pretty and pristine
Not one spot
Not one scratch
Perfection to the dot!
Keep on looking
Desire rampant with lust
Oh! What a surprise
Nothing is what it seems
It’s really just rotten to the core
So why do we want more
Everywhere you look
Skittering animals all about
‘Round around they go
This is the big circus
Under an enormous canvas we are
Galavanting under a watchful eye
Up above like a light
The eternal sun
Up in the sky
Who will one day burn us all
Leaving nothing behind
But not to worry
Just go from exhibit to exhibit
Pick and choose
Walk on over and mooch over there
Meander next to that heir
Relax my friends
There is no care
Just keep on galavanting
Until you hit that snare
It’s insanity this dance
A macabre maneuver
Perfect for another shot
Perfect for another round
In this gimmick we are stuck
Wiggle and shake
It does not matter
Unravel those bones until they break
Next day you’ll wake up
Stuck again in this big mistake
So I think I’ll just rebel
Go ahead
Knock me around
Slap me insane
Leave me with nothing but drool
My head left spinning
Many a thing I have been considered
None of them a fool
So go ahead
Just knock me off my stool.
