How you gonna act the victim
When you are Jack the Ripper?
You cold-blooded killer
No butchery out of bounds
How you gonna act all cool?
You flim-flam bozo tool
Please, make way for the chairman of the clowns
Powerful people try to keep you down
One step forwards, three steps 'round (chairman of the clowns)
Chairman of the clowns
How you gonna act all fake?
You think I don't remember
The bloodshed in your wake
Emotional offender?
How you gonna act John Wayne?
I just see John Wayne Gacy
Please, make way for the chairman of the clowns
Powerful people try to keep you down
One step forwards, three steps 'round (chairman of the clowns)
Chairman of the clowns
We live in a silly little world
Chairman of the clowns
And you must salute the chairman
Chairman of the clowns
Two-face sycophantic dead shark eyes
Smiling faces telling wicked lies
Powerful people try to get their way
Try to get their way
Powerful people try to keep you down (powerful people try to keep you down)
One step forwards, three steps 'round (chairman of the clowns)
Chairman of the clowns
We live in a silly little world
Chairman of the clowns
And you must salute the chairman
Chairman of the clowns
