[Verse 1]
Just in time
To catch the show you've already paid for
Just in time
The spectacle's about to begin
And everyone's here that matters
There's one little hitch
Hope you forgive
The chattering monkeys, they broke in
Creating some damage
It's really most unfortunate when they try to ruin perfection
And we've got highly trained young men
To guarantee protection
[Chorus]
To hell with all formalities
Lеt's toast to mediocrity
'Cause we'rе the ones who safeguard
All the keys to the palace
[Post-Chorus]
To better times, to better times, to better times
To better times, to better times, to better times
To better times, to better times, to better times
To better times, to better times, to better times
[Verse 2]
Just in time
The aliens are about to invade us
Time to ride
The freaks are forming their own brigade
But I don't know why they're trying
They promise a splendid, big parade
That we find terrifying
Those chattering monkeys want to steal
The spotlight from the circus
But if you don't mind, please ignore them
They really have no purpose
[Chorus]
To hell with all formalities
Let's drink to mediocrity
'Cause we're the ones who are holding
All the keys to the palace
[Bridge]
It's time to take the circus down
And burn the palace to the ground
Take back the keys from the clowns
And raise your glass and toast the little monkeys
[Outro]
To better times, to better times, to better times
To better times, to better times, to better times
To better times, to better times, to better times
To better times, to better times, to better times
