You just have to laugh
At the state we're in
Can't help but get in our own way
What we're shooting for
Has a ricochet
Subject to delay
Losing too much sleep
At the mess we're in
Forces I'm not controlling
What a clever ape
I confuse myself
Does what it says on the tin
I know Mother's a clown
She's sound
I know Mother's a clown
She's sound
I know Mother's a clown
She's sound
I know Mother's a clown
She hangs upside down
Climbing up the ladder
We're at the top of the chain
I can see the finish line
Sink back into the game
I know Mother's a clown
She's sound
I know Mother's a clown
She's sound
I know Mother's a clown
She's sound
I know Mother's a clown
She hangs upside down
We've got it all wrong
It's upside down
We've got it all wrong
It's upside down
We've got it all wrong
It's upside down
Mother's a clown
She hangs upside down
We've got it all wrong
It's upside down
We've got it all wrong
It's upside down
I know Mother's a clown
I know Mother's a clown
I know Mother's a clown
She hangs upside down
