The traveling show the best game around Is finally coming to town driving a savior train The crowd gathers ‘round anticipation fills the air But the Hero fails to please Ssomething went wrong today but he just couldn’t say Thumbs down turn around turn your back to his face Put him back in his place Let him crash and burn if he falls from grace Ready for the game the gladiator stands In the stadium that’s filled with rabid fans While they sip their lemonade relaxing in the shade A casual decision is made and the swords’ bloody blade Conquers all desires Thumbs down turn around turn your back to his face Put him back in his place Let him crash and burn if he falls from grace The current favorite tribe beloved stars of the show Provide vicarious thrills for inquiring minds that wanna know But their joyous expectations shield a judges mask Gnashing vengeful jaws Tearing flesh from bone while the prisoner stands alone And the walls are closing in the rain’s pouring down Friends can’t be found And the road back home washed out long ago The heaven’s brightest star eventually falls from the sky Another quickly appears ready to give it a try But among the dying embers a fire that once burned bright Once lighting up the night An enternity of blame can never rekindle the flame And the walls are closing in the rain’s pouring down Friends can’t be found And the road back home washed out long ago It’s lonely at the top on that narrow pedastal Worshipped by a public demanding one strict rule That you drown youself in excess fulfilling their desire Fantasy for hire No weaknesses allowed or you’ll face the angry crowd And thumbs down turn around They turn their backs to your face put you back in your place They let you crash and burn if you fall from grace
