Rodeo Clown Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Well there's blood on the hands of the rich politicians 

Red is the color of the sand and the sea 

Blood on the hands of an arrogant nation 

Who start all the bleeding over their policies 

So she blamed it all on whispering secrets 

She blamed it on the moon and the sky 

She thought she broke the back of the city 

She thought she thought she knew she had lied 

She changed direction with the gas fires burning 

Racing for protection what could she possibly find 

Children with no legs out on the highways crawling 

Looking for an angel but they ran out of time 

She had blood on her face so she had to get even 

She hemorrhaged and bled all over the land 

There's blood on the hands of those that keep silent 

Who won't count the bodies dead in the sand

She changed direction with the gas fires burning 

Racing for protection what could she possibly find 

Children with no legs out on the highways crawling 

Looking for an angel but they ran out of time 

So you can feast on your stories but it won't stop the bleeding 

When the truth is found the houses surely fall down 

There's blood on their mouths of all lies and liars 

The bloody red eyes 

The bloody red eyes 

The bloody red eyes 

The bloody red eyes 

The bloody red eyes of the rodeo clown 

The bloody red eyes of the rodeo clown 

The bloody red eyes of the rodeo clown 

The bloody red eyes of the rodeo clown

She changed direction with the gas fires burning 

Racing for protection what could she possibly find 

Children with no legs out on the highways crawling 

Looking for an angel but they ran out of time 

Well, there's blood in the streets from the lies and liars 

The bloody red eyes of the rodeo clown
