You call it opposition
We call it an attempt to present us as murderous criminals
Send in the clowns
Send in the voters
We’ll show you the margin of the flaming flowers
Send in the clowns
Backed up by bulldozers
We’ll show you the poverty
The bloom of the flaming flowers
Still we’re harassed by pigs
The justice they represent
Oppressed by common rights
Not a part to play
In this greatest of missions
Forced to take a stand
Fusion breeds fission
Send in the clowns
with uniforms to shower water on us
Lead on, flaming flowers
Send in the clowns
From their ivory towers
They’re not ours
We did not plant the flaming flowers
