Welcome to the rage carnival of modern democracy—Different Clowns, Same Circus is a satirical riot anthem disguised as a psychedelic trap-club banger. With razor-sharp metaphors and absurdist political venom, this track flips the circus tent on the broken system we’re trapped inside. Each bar spits truth like sawdust and smoke: rigged elections, empty promises, velvet thrones paid in broken backs. It’s the soundtrack to waking up pissed, dancing through protest, and setting fire to the illusion with a smirk. You’ve bought the ticket—now scream from the bleachers. The only way out is to burn it all down.

Lyrics:

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, step right up to democracy's greatest show.
Three rings of chaos, one price of admission: your sanity.
Tonight only—watch politicians disappear your paycheck before your very eyes.

Wake up to the barker's same old pitch,
New face, old tricks, guess which is which.
Trapeze of tax breaks swing overhead,
Safety nets cut while the rich get fed.
Cotton candy promises melt on your tongue,
Strongman flexes while the bills stay hung.
Paper tigers roar from their golden cage,
We're the sideshow now—welcome to the rage.
Queue for the funhouse, queue for a loan,
Queue for the mirror that breaks your backbone.
Tickets to nowhere cost everything you own,
But the clowns keep laughing from their velvet throne.

Step right up, place your bet,
On the tightrope walker drowning in debt.
Smoke and mirrors fill the tent,
We scream in the bleachers till our voices are spent.

Different clowns, same circus ring,
Juggling scandals while the cash registers sing.
Raise your fist, let the sawdust storm,
We dance in the aisles while the tent transforms.
Bribes are the greasepaint covering the rot,
The bearded lady's what your vote just bought.
Line up for scraps, for a joke, for a dream—
When the whole damn show's rigged, make the riot supreme.

Ringmaster changes but the lions stay hungry,
"Elect the fire-eater!"—democracy's ugly.
Ten hoops to jump through, one palm to grease,
Big top's on fire but they call it peace.
Human cannonball shot straight through your wallet,
The trapeze artist's pension? They already called it.
We livestream the chaos, we meme through the pain,
Throw peanuts at power till they break the chain.

Under the big top where hope goes to die,
The magician's trick: making your future goodbye.
But we own the crowd, we write the reviews—
The greatest show's over when we light the fuse.

Hey! Hey! Step right up if you're pissed!
Hey! Hey! Different clowns, can't resist!
Hey! Hey! Burn the tent, break the mold!
Hey! Hey! This freak show's getting old!

Thank you, thank you, you've been a wonderful audience.
Exit through the gift shop—democracy's half off.
