World Theatre
Shamen, The
Drop (1987)

they're staging a show in the theatre world
all the crowds have come in
the stage has been set and the curtains are up
for the show to begin
all over the world every player is heard and his message of doom
is called everywhere and is sent thro’ the air and it lands in my room
just watch the clown how he laughs and he sings
filling the world with unspeakable things
playing the hearts that just warm with every word
look at the clown he laughs and he smiles
into the face of each heart he defiles
while in the distance the fireworks can be heard
the smile that’s been spreading on millions of faces
who’ve read the reviews it’s only to tell things are going so well
now it’s all in the news
the people with wealth are a picture of health
now you must understand that all that we have
and the future of love is kept safe in their hands
