They’re fencing me in again
And I can’t let them win
It’s me against the world
And I won’t give in
I never get no rest
Your guilt trip’s off my chest
I slowly lose my mind
But that’s what I do best
So play it again, Carnival Boy
We made it so fucking easy
You’re always so eager to please
You’re on your knees
Once again
Do your dance, Carnival Boy
You know we got a lot in common
You hold it all against your mom and
You don’t call her anymore
I’m shouting up to the sun
I’ve barely just begun
I’ve made a list of complaints
And I’m not nearly done
I won’t go quietly
I’m taking some of you with me
I will make a fuss
Until I get my way
So play it again, Carnival Boy
We made it so fucking easy
You’re always so eager to please
You’re on your knees
Once again
Do your dance, Carnival Boy
You know we got a lot in common
You owe it all to your mom and
You don’t call her anymore
Here I am shouting victory
And it’s a fucking joke to me
Crawling from under my rock to see the sun
I’m seldom seen in this place
I don’t like to show my face
Hanging around these people makes me feel
Just like I’m dumb,
dumb, dumb, Dumb.
