PT Barnum said it long ago

Voters, like suckers, born every minute, don-cha- no

Primary candidates made us laugh, some made us cry

These nominated clowns said the other’s gonna make us die

Supporters came arunnin when their clown’s circus came to town

They stayed away from the tents of the opponent killer clown

TV debatemasters shouted let the show begin

Send in the clowns, whispering hope they don’t do us in

Look around, what do we see

What’s becoming of our democracy

From California shores to New York Times Square

It’s Barnum and Bailey everywhere

All that was missing were rubber noses on painted faces

2016 campaign’s suicidal train wreck of a presidential race

Election day’s a ride on a nightmare merry-go-round

Let’s hope we’re not DOA after we elect this year’s killer clown

2016’s Killer Clowns
