[Intro]

Tell us, please

What happened before?

[Verse 1]

We still got time for some money, love

And we still got time for some rub-a-dub

They still got time to mess about with our minds

While we jig it up and down in the kissin' club

Beneath that moment there's an hour, man

And beneath that hour, there's another one

And beneath your body there's a shadow that shines

And another short-timer just come and gone

Now the state that's been set for eternity

But we still can't seem to get unity

That man in the suit robbed that man with the flute

But he did that robbery legally

[Chorus]

The world is crackin' up

But the show must go on

The world is crackin' up

But the show must go on

[Verse 2]

You're really not sure about the water

And you don't want to breathe in the air

And you know you got something that's really quite good

But you don't want to touch yourself there

And you wonder why nobody's reading

All those wonderful poems you wrote

Then you check out the sky and that refugee guy

And you think, "Why the hell should I vote?"

And you don't trust the guy on the TV

Who is trying to sell you that thing-k

And you don't trust the guy with the trip in his eye

Who is telling you how you should think

But you know that you've been blessed with beauty

But your officer tells you you're tricked

For you stand on this stage with your passion and rage

But you just don't believe in the script

It must be the buying and selling

The boy bands, the girl bands, the hype

That made the great actors start yelling

"Hey, I am no stereotype!"

Now all of the poets and actors

Are trying some improvisation

Whilst all of the big guns and all of their backers

Are trying some globalisation (What do I say?)

[Chorus]

The world is crackin' up

But the show must go on

The world is crackin' up

But the show must go on

The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)

But the show must go on (But the show must go on)

The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)

But the show must go on (But the show must go on)

[Post-Chorus]

Thank you for coming

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

The world is crackin' up

But the show must go on

The world is crackin' up

But the show must go on

The world is crackin' up

But the show must go on

The world is crackin' up

But the show must go on

The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)

But the show must go on (But the show must go on)

The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)

But the show must go on (But the show must go on)

The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)

But the show must go on (But the show must go on)

The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)

But the show must go on (But the show must go on)

The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)

But the show must go on (But the show must go on)

The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)

But the show must go on (But the show must go on)

The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)

But the show must go on (But the show must go on)

The world is crackin' up (The world is crackin' up)

But the show
