letra de burn the lot - step right up!
[verse 1]
there is a man outside the gates holding a sign that reads
“god’s judgment is at hand”
his voice is ragged with his shouts
“this carnival, this den of sin will leave you d-mned!”
i know the lines
of that man’s face nearly better than my own
i hear that self-same voice restored almost to youth
though it was never truly young
[chorus]
when we tear down here, burn the lot
rig the games, take what you want
fear not we’ll be remembered
we’re never coming back to this one
when i left i swore not to return
this town is not my home
if they brand me as an outcast
i’ll wear it as a badge of pride
[verse 2]
he used to shout, “boy, you are less than half a man!
in fact, you are no man at all
you are a freak, you and your sister
a waste of my wages and an insult to the lord”
my deformities were held the cause
for every trouble in our home
he laid his proclivity for drink
(and our mother’s for her ether) at my door
[chorus]
when we tear down here, burn the lot
rig the games, take what you want
fear not we’ll be remembered
we’re never coming back to this one
when i left i swore not to return
this town is not my home
if they brand me as an outcast
i’ll wear it as a badge of pride
[bridge]
on the morning that my sister disappeared
my father shouted for his gin
i brought the bottle from the cellar
mixed in with my mother’s medicine
as his breathing slowed, i deftly went to work
with knife and ink
before i left
i murmured to his sleeping face
“now you’re as much a freak as me”
[chorus]
when we tear down here, burn the lot
rig the games, take what you want
fear not we’ll be remembered
we’re never coming back to this one
when i left i swore not to return
this town is not my home
if they brand me as an outcast
i’ll wear it as a badge of pride
