Sideshow

I have seen the streets and alleyways

Of a million faceless towns

The camera comes, the camera goes

Filming our blues for the late night news

We gather round

Never searching for our innocence

Our faith, our truth, our love

They're only there when things go wrong

Filming our blues for the late night news

We gather round

Show us peace and understanding

Brother love for fellow man

Cure us, we are sick from violence

In your sideshow of life

Impartiality is like

A coin they have to spend

The currency of the chosen few

They place their bets

Switch on your sets

There's world disasters by the minute

They tell us on the hour

And when we think we've paid our dues

They've filmed our blues for the late night news

We gather round

Show us peace and understanding

Brother love for fellow man

Cure us, we are sick from violence

In your sideshow of life

Sideshow of life

When it's late at night and you're all alone

With the one you love

Turn on the late night news and cry

Tears for all the lost and lonely people

Innocents in prime time

(Tragedies) of our life

(Tragedies) of our life

(Tragedies) of our life
