American Sideshow

(Intro: Creepy, detuned carousel organ)

Welcome to the circus!

Step right up to the show!

(Distorted laughter)

(Verse 1: Hybrid Trap - Aggressive, fast delivery)

Stand up, speak out, break the glass

Watch the painted faces as they pass

Immigrants are humans, yeah, that’s the fact

Respect is the fuel, don't you ever look back

Check the history, check the blood in the dirt

Who defines the land? Who defines the hurt?From the coast to the plains, we’re all in the ring

But no one’s the master, and no one’s the king!

(Chorus: Melodic Sad-Pop - Big, emotional, soaring synths)

Oh, the carnival’s burning, it used to be grand

The land of the free, now we’re sinking in sand

We used to dance where the brave ones led

Now we’re counting the ghosts of the things that were said

Bring back the light to this hollowed-out space

A circus of souls in a desperate race!

(Verse 2: Glitch Dubstep / Trap - Choppy, heavy bass hits)

Shield the Black, shield the Brown, stop the ride

Justice is the rain, nowhere to hide!

Just ‘cause your face is white as a sheet

Don't mean you’re the star of this crumbling street

Privilege is a mask, rip it off, let it go

Every soul’s got a right to be part of the show

In the city, in the town, in the neon glare

Everyone is human—life isn’t a dare!

(Chorus: Melodic Sad-Pop - Maximum energy)

Oh, the carnival’s burning, it used to be grand

The land of the free, now we’re sinking in sand

We used to dance where the brave ones led

Now we’re counting the ghosts of the things that were said

Bring back the light to this hollowed-out space

A circus of souls in a desperate race!

(Bridge: Atmospheric / Melodic - Quiet, haunting)

Say a prayer for the broken, the ones in the cage

The clowns are in charge, and they’re fueled by the rage

No more families torn, no more tears on the floor

We’re shutting the gates, we can’t take any more

We can be better...If we just stop the act.

(Drop: Carnival Electro / Glitch Dubstep - Total sonic chaos)

(Heavy 808s and screeching circus melodies)

(Outro: Fading, glitched vocals)

Everyone is human...

(Glitch)Human rights...

(Pitch shift)The circus is over...

(Static and a single, low piano note)
