One by one, the fools suck you in
Like many others before
No guilty conscience, just another sin
They're truly rotten to the core

Contracts with criminal intent
Spelling out the things they're gonna do
Liars, taking back their word
Draining the life right out of you

Over and over, they do it again
A network of thieves try to bring you an end
Never believe any promises made
Look at the crooks, they're the clowns on parade

Paid for the service, signed the dotted line
But then get nothing in return
Result, I'm sinking, running out of time
Response, it's none of my concern

When you're exposed
The first reaction, defend it with another lie
Attempted character assassination
You cannot kill me but you try

Over and over, they do it again
A network of thieves try to bring you an end
Never believe any promises made
Look at the crooks, they're the clowns on parade, go

The clowns on parade
Oh, yeah

Payback is mine
You tried to make a mockery
It's payback time
A failed attempt to bring an end to me

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Two faced, these sad little people
Enjoy the spotlight while you can
Disrespecting, those who you deceive
You're just a flash in the pan

Evil, to take you for a ride
Then try to damage all you've got
Pure scum and headed for a fall
Karma will catch up and then you'll rot

Over and over, they do it again
A network of thieves try to bring you an end
Never believe any promises made
Look at the crooks, they're the clowns on parade

Over and over, they do it again
A network of thieves try to bring you an end
Never believe any promises made
Look at the crooks, they're the clowns on parade

The clowns on parade
