Текст песни Showbiz (Circus Contraption) с переводом

Oh, when I was only a boy

I thought the world was flat

And I wore a raccoon for a hat

And I loved my mother

My folks took me out in the woods

And I played there whenever I could

And I thought the forest was good

And I was right about that

But now that I’m old

And my heart has grown cold

I can see the world for what it is

Then one sunny day

My wits ran away

And I dived along into showbiz

And now I am living in Hell

Oh God, what’s that terrible smell

It’s me, oh my god, I’m a wreck

All my pride I’ve swallered

Oh Buddha, have mercy on me

I think, in my pants, I have peed

It ain’t spiritual cleansing I need

Can you spare a dollar

And now that I’m old

And my heart has grown cold

I can see the world for what it is

But for lack of anything better to do

I’m stinking and sticking with showbiz

But hey, it’s OK, what the fuck

Oh, we’re swimming around in the muck

And we’re cheated and down on our luck

Can you spare a cocktail?

On asphalt we’ll dance on our knees

Oh, we’re maimed, but we’re aiming to please

And we heal the lame and diseased

Can you spare a liver?

And now that I’m old

And my heart has grown cold

I can see the world for what it is

But for lack of anything better to do

I’m thinking, I’m sticking with showbiz
