The Existential Dreadniks - There Are Too Many Clowns in This Carnival | 1960s Psychedelic Pop

There Are Too Many Clowns in This Carnival
by Byron Fenris
You know, there used to be lions
And men who soar through the air
People who juggled and danced
WIth panache; hell, there used to be flair

Now it's all giant shoes
And faces full of pies
Britches too big for their bearers
Balloons and revolving ties

It's unnerving
It's uncool
Can't there be anyone
Not playing the fool?

There is no one
To control the show
When the ringmaster
Is honking his nose

There are too many clowns in this carnival
Too many clowns in this carnival
I can’t tell what's a joke
I can’t tell who’s regular folks
There are too many
Too many
Too many
Too many
Clowns!
(too many clowns)

Clowns make you laugh
Or so I am told
But it gets out of hand
When that's all that you're sold

The clown music plays
Removing all doubt
The car pulls up
And they all pour out

Their faces so white
Pallor of the dead
Every wide smile
Is painted in red

At first this was fun
At least kind of a laugh
But there's clowns everywhere
And it's driving me daft

There are too many clowns in this carnival
Too many clowns in this carnival
I can’t tell who's in charge
I can’t tell who’s at large
There are too many
Too many
Too many
Too many
Clowns!
(too many clowns)

Take off the paint
Take of the wigs
Cut no more capers
Dance no more jigs

No more juggling
No center rings
No more jesters
Acting like kings

There are too many clowns in this carnival
Too many clowns in this carnival
I can’t tell who's to blame
I can’t tell who’s insane
There are too many
Too many
Too many
Too many
Clowns!
(too many clowns)
