[Intro]
Tell us, please
What happened before?
[Verse 1]
We still got time for some money, love
And we still got time for some rub-a-dub
They still got time to mess about with our minds
While we jig it up and down in the kissin' club
Beneath that moment there's an hour, man
And beneath that hour, there's another one
And beneath your body there's a shadow that shines
And another short-timer just come and gone
Now the state that's been set for eternity
But we still can't seem to get unity
That man in the suit robbed that man with the flute
But he did that robbery legally
[Chorus]
The world is crackin' up
But the show must go on
The world is crackin' up
But the show must go on
[Verse 2]
You're really not sure about the water
And you don't want to breathe in the air
And you know you got something that's really quite good
But you don't want to touch yourself there
And you wonder why nobody's reading
All those wonderful poems you wrote
Then you check out the sky and that refugee guy
And you think, "Why the hell should I vote?"
And you don't trust the guy on the TV
Who is trying to sell you that thing-k
And you don't trust the guy with the trip in his eye
Who is telling you how you should think
But you know that you've been blessed with beauty
But your officer tells you you're tricked
For you stand on this stage with your passion and rage
But you just don't believe in the script
It must be the buying and selling
The boy bands, the girl bands, the hype
That made the great actors start yelling
"Hey, I am no stereotype!"
Now all of the poets and actors
Are trying some improvisation
Whilst all of the big guns and all of their backers
Are trying some globalisation (What do I say?)
[Chorus]
The world is crackin' up
But the show must go on
The world is crackin' up
But the show must go on
The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)
But the show must go on (But the show must go on)
The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)
But the show must go on (But the show must go on)
[Post-Chorus]
Thank you for coming
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
The world is crackin' up
But the show must go on
The world is crackin' up
But the show must go on
The world is crackin' up
But the show must go on
The world is crackin' up
But the show must go on
The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)
But the show must go on (But the show must go on)
The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)
But the show must go on (But the show must go on)
The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)
But the show must go on (But the show must go on)
The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)
But the show must go on (But the show must go on)
The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)
But the show must go on (But the show must go on)
The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)
But the show must go on (But the show must go on)
The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)
But the show must go on (But the show must go on)
The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)
But the show
