Punching Clowns

Story Behind The Song

My Loco Moto project partner Alan LoPresti had the song riffs and a working title and felt my satirical vocal style could compliment the track so I worked up the lyrics and arrangement

Song Description

A few years back there was some news about rogue clowns intimidating people in public so then I certainly think the feeling among many was that if they were ever confronted they'd just punch the clown. And maybe clowns don't have a beloved place in our society anymore so it explores both ideas.

Lyrics

Licking grease paint off of my knuckles.
Weak at your knees and ready to buckle.
Who's laughing now, you've run outta chuckles, ya.

Everybody, everybody's ready to fight.
Everybody, everybody's ready to fight.
Everybody, everybody hates how you fake it.
Ya we're all angry and we're not gonna take it.

Punching Clowns.
Punching Clowns - and pushing them down.
Punching Clowns.
Bow ties and bozos you frighten the cosmos.

Well this ain't war but it's getting damn close.
Lurking in shadows and hiding by lampposts.
Freakin' us out when you're suppose to be the good host- ya.


Everybody, everybody's nervous and tight.
Everybody, everybody's nervous and tight.
Everybody everybody hates your new games.
Ya the sign of the times we even hate all your names.

Punching Clowns.
Punching Clowns - and kicked to the ground.
Punching Clowns.
Sing a new tune while you're poppin their balloon.


Gone are the days beloved by all ages.
Gone are the days your laughter's contagious.
Gone are the days we find you outrageous.
So if this is your payback then this is our slap back.
