When all the good acts have long since past,
And over the stage falls science.
Come forth the clowns to make us laugh,
And forget this age of violence.

They may seem like a joke to you,
Who feed on the applause.
But the clowns have a job to do,
They serve a higher cause.

The smiles you see may be all fake,
The joy just painted on.
But there is only so much someone can take,
Living in hell too long.

The clowns facades can save us!
They bring with them a little light.
And long after the jokers turn to dust,
In our memories they shine bright.
