Ringleader Letra - Alex Brightman

Now, hey there, old chum?

What's got you looking glum?

Is it 'cause you see I'm everything you ain't?

Show off at Ozzie's, quit on Mammon

So if I should examine your affairs?, well, they frankly ain't that great, hahahaha

I won't be selling out

'Cause I know I'll be selling out

The shows that give me all the adoration I demand

It isn't like the circus

'Cause now I have a purpose

And it's to be the showman that he couldn't be and fill these stands

Poor little Fizzie

Look at how I took your place

But who can really blame me

When your life is a disgrace?

Come one

Come all

It's the Fizzarolli ball

Where the creatures

Of the dark gather

Answering the call

For a show that knocks the baddest and the meanest off their feet

Watch and learn, my captive audience

I'll give you all a treat

Rebuilt

Reborn

From the fires of the scorned

I'm the only

One that matters now

Don't say that you weren't warned

Been living in your shadow, I don't let it keep me down

'Cause now I am the ringleader

And you're the clown, hahahahahahahahaha

Stop

I'm not going to enable

A machine that's gone unstable

The feeble shitty tantrums of a fraud (Uh-oh)

You act a part and steal faces

To try and take my place

It's a pale imitation, nothing more (Oh my)

I don't hide what I am

I know exactly who I am

I am an entertainer who's above where he began

No longer in the circus

A lord has gave me purpose

And with him, I have got the only thing you'll never understand

Check this sappy jester with a rep he must defend

But you know how the saying goes, all good things gotta end

Come one

Come all

It's the Fizzarolli ball

Where the creatures

Of the dark gather

Answering the call

For a show that's gonna make the masses sing and shriek and shout

They'll hang on to every fucking word, there's never any doubt

Rebuilt

Reborn

From the fires of the scorned

I'm the only

One that matters now

Don't say that you weren't warned

You tried to kill me once, but I came back to see the dawn

And that makes me the ringleader

And now you're gone, hahahaha

You might've had it rough

From the silly games you played

But imagine our surprise

When you threw this all away

What you were to the people, now it's buried in the past

Do you protest after humiliating yourself?

Ha, that's a good laugh

Are you jealous that you don't have what we got?

Do you hate that we're the best of you and everything you're not?

A powerhouse of stardom, always down to have some fun

Not ashamed of what we're meant to do, while all you do is run

So sit there all exhausted

And keep that whiny tone

But it don't matter what you do, now I am on your throne

Come one

Come all

It's the Fizzarolli ball

Where the creatures

Of the dark gather

Answering the call

For a show that keeps 'em coming back here every single night

And the crowd is gonna beg for me with my name up in lights

Rebuilt

Reborn

From the fires of the scorned

I'm the only

One that matters now

Don't say that you weren't warned

Across the rings, you'll see my face, the baddest imp in town

'Cause now I am the ringleader

And you're the clown, hahahahahahaha

La-la-la, la-la, la, la
