Freaks in Charge

[Verse 1]

You had a nightmare once, we've all been there

Well this is not a nightmare

A shabby cloak, hangin' in the closet at night

Put on the light, there's nothing in there

A clown said day, we're all out in the open, wet paint

And foulin' up your fresh air

Well it's a show alright, got the slogans on the curtains

We're tellin' ya you do care

[Chorus]

Freaks in charge, freaks in charge

Big heads on fire like hot air balloons, yeah

Freaks in charge, freaks in charge

Steam shovels oiled up, and burying you, yeah

Freaks in charge, freaks in charge

You had a nightmare, well this is not a nightmare

Freaks in charge, freaks in charge

Well we may be too late, but it's never too soon

[Verse 2]

Fuck your conductor, got his head out of the window

Too distracted by the smoke to shovel the coal

Y'know I got a little monkey, he'll drive your train better than that

Not even one year old

Not a lot of hope for a shot, another compass I guess

More like a greasing of the rails

Hold your breath at the station

We'll punch your ticket further down the line

Step onto the scales, yeah

[Chorus]

Freaks in charge, freaks in charge

Big heads on fire like hot air balloons, yeah

Freaks in charge, freaks in charge

Steam shovels oiled up, and burying you, yeah

Freaks in charge, freaks in charge

You had a nightmare, well this is not a nightmare

Freaks in charge, freaks in charge

Well we may be too late, but it's never too soon

[Outro]

We may be late and it, it may be over

But don't tell me in that case

'Cause I've got somethin' to say, if we push a little harder

At least until there's somethin' to taste

Some gasoline and the honey from a flower

On a hot breeze, blowing in your face

We may be late and it, it may be over

But don't tell me in that case

Don't tell me in that case
