[Intro]

Welcome to the shit show

Adies and gentlemen

Step right the fuck up

Welcome to the shit show

Come in, sit down, and shut the fuck up (Haha)


[Verse 1]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Welcome to the shit show

Lights out, mask on

Whole damn temp been cursed since the day I was born

Red nose on the demon

Black, smoke in the air

Everybody fake, smiling like they ain't scared

Step in the ring if you think you're tough

Bet your wholе damn soul you ain't built for this stuff

Got lions off the train and they hungry as hell

This ain't no fun housе, bitch

This is personal hell


[Verse 2]

Cotton candy lies in the knife in the back

Pretty little clowns all dressed in black

Everybody cheer when the train goes off

And act surprised when I cut shit off

You came for a show, now you're part of the pain

Every damn ticket got blood in the stain

Ain't no refunds, ain't no saving face

Once you in my circus, you know your place


[Pre-Chorus]

Smile for the crowd

Yeah, dance like a freak

Everybody loud to the monster speak

You wanted chaos? Well, here it is

Is a middle finger wrapped in a twisted kiss


[Chorus]

Welcome to the shit show

Come and sit down, shut the fuck up

Whole damn place going down, burning up

Welcome to the shit show

Where the freaks all bite and we get cut

If you can't hang, then get the fuck up out of my circus

Welcome to the shit show

Blood on the stage, no mercy, no luck

Smile for the camera while the whole world

Welcome to the shit show

Come and sit down, shut the fuck up

Step right in, motherfucker

You're one of us


[Verse 3]

Ring master grin with a switchblade smile

I've been walking this wire for a long damn wild

Everybody watching, hoping I fall

But I built this tent from the bricks in my walls

Tight rope tension, snap back rage

I was born in the fire, now I own this stage

Every damn clown want to talk that shit

'Til I drag them backstage and I empty the clip

Got twisted heads upside down (No)

King of the wreckage, I run this town (No)

House full of snakes and sequins and pearls

Fake ass kings and plastic

Girl, this ain't entertainment

This is survival, I don't need love

I came for revival

You can laugh all day till the floorboards crack

And I send that laughter straight to the crowd


[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah

Dance like a freak

Everybody loud till the monsters speak

You wanted madness, you wanted war

Now the whole damn tent wants more


[Chorus]

Welcome to the shit show

Come and sit down

Shut the fuck up

Oh, whole damn place going down, burning up

Welcome to the shit show where the freaks all bite and the weak get cut

If you can't hang, then get the fuck up out of my circus

Welcome to the shit show

Blood on the stage, no mercy, no luck

Smile for the camera while the whole world erupts

Welcome to the shit show

Come and sit down

Shut the fuck up and step right in, motherfucker

You're one of us


[Bridge]

Step right up

Step right up to the greatest wreck you ever saw

Burn it down, burn it down

Let the whole damn crowd want more

Hey, freaks in the front

Blood in the drum

Everybody scream when the nightmare comes

This ain't a servant, this is a warning

This ain't a joke, this is me storming

To every fake face, every cheap

Welcome to hell

Now let the show begin


[Chorus]

Welcome to the shit show

Come and sit down

Shut the fuck up

Whole damn town about to self-destruct

Welcome to the shit

Show where the wild ones rise and the we get crushed

If you got a problem, bitch get dragged in the dust

Welcome to the shit show

Peace, no rules, no saints, no trust, just chaos

Rage, and a whole lot of rust

Welcome to the shit show

Come and sit down

Shut the fuck up

Step right in, motherfucker


[Outro]

Now the show's fucked up

Thank you for coming

We know you'll never be the same

Now get the fuck out or stay and burn with the rest of us
