Showbiz Lyrics & Chords By Circus Contraption

Oh, when I was only a boy
I thought the world was flat
And I wore a raccoon for a hat
And I loved my mother

My folks took me out in the woods
And I played there whenever I could
And I thought the forest was good
And I was right about that

But now that I'm old
And my heart has grown cold
I can see the world for what it is
Then one sunny day
My wits ran away
And I dived along into showbiz

And now I am willing in Hell
Oh God, what's that terrible smell
It's me, oh my god, I'm a wreck
All my pride I've swallered

Oh Buddha, have mercy on me
I think, in my pants, I have peed
It ain't spiritual cleansing I need
Can you spare a dollar

And now that I'm old
And my heart has grown cold
I can see the world for what it is
But for lack of anything sweating to do
I'm stinking and sticking with showbiz

But hey, it's OK, what the fuck
Oh, we're swimming around in the muck
And we're cheated and down on our luck
Can you spare a cocktail

On asphalt we'll dance on our knees
Oh, we're maimed, but we're aiming to please
And we heal the lame and diseased
Can you spare a liver

And now that I'm old
And my heart has grown cold
I can see the world for what it is
But for lack of anything better to do
I'm thinking, I'm sticking with showbiz
