Because of It
04:40

I grew up with Bozo making me laugh
He made me decide I’d wanna do that
Followed his footsteps no matter how large
Drove off to school in a miniature car
Spent everyday with latex balloons
Studied my craft night, morning, and noon
Thrived off of smiles, giggles and cheers
Now Stephen King’s filled the people with fear
They claimed that he was a good writer
So why did It become a spider
Because of It
I’m constantly struggling to defend what I have done
Because of It
The children who used to laugh at me now scream and run
Because of It
I’m doomed to a life full of sorrow now that my job isn’t fun
Because of It
Every weekend I’d be booked up
At birthdays, bar mitzvahs, even the World Cup
At Superbowl parties I’d raise the morale
Although their home team can’t score a touchdown
I’d surprise them with water out of a flower
Or an endless rainbow from out of my mouth
Recently my occupation’s no more
Pennywise has made clowns a thing to abhor
Because of It
They’re clearancing red balloons, red noses, bike horns, and giant shoes
Because of It
They’re canceling parties and fairs all with the same excuse
Because of It
Instead of them singing my praises, I’m stuck singing the blues
Because of It
Why, oh why
Must I alter my life
‘Cause a couple bad apples
Went and filled them with fright
Why, oh why
Must I start over now
All because of an author
And his fictional clown
Please dear God
Let the fad of fear fade
Just like Jaws and the beaches
Or snakes on a plane
Help me Lord
Figure out what to do
All I’ve got is a closet
Full of clown clothes and shoes
Because of It
Princesses have overtaken the private party scene
Because of It
Bozo’s gone missing, nobody knows where he could be
Because of It
Each time I put on a smile the kids all flee and scream
Because of It
Every gimmick I do is globally labeled obscene
Because of It
Barnum and Bailey have added a warning to every show
Because of It
The Ringling Brothers have retired their face paint and rubber nose
Because of It
Cities are filling their sewers with concrete to keep him out
Because of It
Now the road’s flooded all due to their fear of clowns
Because of It
I’m endlessly trying to find out where I belong
Because of It
I’m stuck on this album singing a stupid doo-wop song
Because of It
Death and public speaking are no longer the world’s biggest fears
Because of It
Spiders and clowns are much scarier when they appear
Because of It
If Stephen King’s such a good writer
Then why did It become a spider

Six Feet Underground

As the sun sinks low the spirits rise
Make the cemetery a paradise
There's no RIP, tell your dear Aunt Mary
Append party girl to her obituary
All ye who enter here
Abandon hope and prepare yourself to
Get down
Get down
Six feet underground
We're going to move to the groove
With a spooky ghostly sound
Go 'head and rave to the grave
And boogie all around
We're getting down and funky
Six feet underground
Sever all ties with your mortal self
Take your boogie shoes down off the shelf
No, the fun don't stop with the rigor mortis
You'll be joining in with our ghoulish chorus
Boo
Boo
Boo
Boo
Then the ghouls sing
So cool
Take it
Get down
Get down
Six feet underground
We're going to move to the groove
With a spooky ghostly sound
Go 'head and rave to the grave
And boogie all around
We're getting down and funky
Six feet underground
Now that's funky
The end is nigh
Kiss this life goodbye
Oh, we don't have long
But we're gonna party 'til the break of dawn
Get down
Get down
Six feet underground
We're going to move to the groove
With a spooky ghostly sound
Go 'head and rave to the grave
And boogie all around
We're getting down and funky
Six feet underground
Get down
Get down
Six feet underground
We're going to move to the groove
With a spooky ghostly sound
Go 'head and rave to the grave
And boogie all around
We're getting down and funky
Six feet underground
Get down
Get down
Six feet underground
Get down
Get down
Six feet underground
Get down underground
Six feet underground
Gotta get down
Gotta get down
Six feet underground
