Written & recorded during the final days of the November 2020 Presidential Election

lyrics

Now the wheels have come off we can go for a spin
At the end of your rope it finally begins
But the man in the mac says "who let 'em in?!"

Now there were tigers, lights and music
I smelled the sawdust at my feet

But it seems to me the show was unrehearsed
The acrobats and jugglers came in first
The clowns only made it worse
In this carnival

CNN, NBC, oh here they go now
I turn on my TV to see a showdown
Is this SNL? The jokes are slow

It's hard to know - If it's swords or if it's guns
The Cavalry arrived to say they've won
When the battled had just begun
In this carnival

And you frighten me with your policies
And your God and your faith in your own
And the folks down there with there get back stares
And the hate for what they don't know
There's blood on the streets and the white sheets
Say "PEACE"

It seems to me the song remains unsung
The melody that hides in everyone
The finding is half the fun
In this carnival
Carnival
Carnival
It's a carnival
