“World Theatre” is the fourth song on Drop, the debut album by the Shamen. It was also released as the b-side to the first single off the album, “Young ‘Till Yesterday”.
They're staging the show in the theatre world
All the crowds have come in
The stage has been set and the curtains are up
For the show to begin
All over the world every player is heard
And his message of doom
Is called everywhere and is sent through the air
And it lands in my room
[Chorus]
Just watch the clown, how he laughs and he sings
Filling the world with unspeakable things
Playing to hearts that just warm with every word
Look at the clown, how he laughs and he smiles
Into the face of each heart he defiles
While in the distance the fireworks can be heard
The smile is been spreading all over the faces
Who've read the reviews
It's only to tell, things are going so well
Now it's all in the news
The people with wealth are a picture of health
Now you must understand
That all that we have and the future of love
Is kept safe in their hands
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Fireworks can be heard
Fireworks can be heard
The Shamen released World Theatre on Wed Jul 01 1987.
