Clowns Of Death Lyrics - Singles - Oingo Boingo

I'm the one who preys upon the weakest 

And the weakest always preys 

Upon the one who's underneath 

I'm the one who doesn't see 

The waves of human kindness 

And the tides that turn the day 

I'm the one who always 

Turns and looks away 

Turns and looks away 

Because after all, we are only boys 

Because after all, we are only boys 

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys 

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys 

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys 

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys 

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys 

I'm the one treads upon 

The weaker ones 

Those that I can find 

And there'll always be some others 

Who could march along in line, yeah 

March along in line 

And, we'll move upon the world 

In a massive tidal wave 

And we'll shout and make some noise, yeah 

Shout and make some noise 

Because after all, we are only boys 

Because after all, we are only boys 

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys 

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys 

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys 

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys 

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys 

The clowns of death are marching on their hideous parade 

Their glaring eyes are filled with hate but I am not afraid 

Their painted faces cracked with age, their makeup old and worn 

With tattered wings and toothy grins to amplify their scorn 

They're looking for the helpless ones 

They're looking for the misbegotten 

They prey upon the weak and fractured 

The crippled and the freaks of nature 

And when the come upon one who's lost or is alone 

Their smiles get even bigger and their noses start to glow 

Making snarling sounds to pantomime with furious abandon 

And with a scream they pounce to kill and all the while they're laughing 

I'm the one treads upon the weaker ones 

Those that I can find 

And there'll always be some others 

Who will march along in line 

And we'll move upon the world 

In a massive tidal wave 

And we'll shout and make some noise, yeah 

Shout and make some noise 

Because after all, we are only boys 

Because after all, we are only boys 

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys 

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys 

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys 

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys 

We'll be boys, we'll be boys, we'll be boys 

The clowns of death are marching on their hideous parade 

Their glaring eyes are filled with hate but I am not afraid 

Their painted faces cracked with age, their makeup old and worn 

With tattered wings and toothy grins to amplify their scorn 

They're looking for the helpless ones 

They're looking for the misbegotten 

They prey upon the weak and fractured 

The crippled and the freaks of nature 

Your sons and daughters, innocent, lay sleeping in their beds 

They'll catch them when you're not around and smash their little heads 

If you think it just a dream or that it isn't fair 

Just look around outside your door, the clowns are everywhere
