The clowns are in power. Vile men are carried in triumph. The last wise men are laid aside. Swindlers are envied. Idiots are extoled. Boasters are applauded. Criminals are sanctified. The guilty is assolved. The demented is idolized. The last honest men are mocked. The buffoons are flattered. The intelligence is tortured. The truth is extinct. The lie is doled out. Killers rule. Fanatics decide. The kings are naked. Clap your hands, clap again. The whole world is a gigantic decadent Freak Show. Mad clowns and rag dolls are waiting for the wily weather man to tell ‘em which way the wind blows. And now they write down write down there’s gonna be a storm. And the scarecrow will make a stand tonight on the radio Criers downtown tell about the freak show, while the lonely hearts look at the crowd comin’ to the window And the white fly, the white fly had a nervous breakdown. Too many crocodiles taking a stand down where the tears flow. Here comes the freak show! Give me your eyes now! The lion cries out ‘cause he lost the gold crown. Now he’s a merry big cat hangin’ around like a crazy bum. Cinderella fell deep in love with a shady jailbird. and now at midnight she breaks the spell pullin’ out a switch-blade. Here comes the freak show! Give me your eyes now! Feeling lost inside the gambler calls another round but his lucky star is falling down, down, down to the ground Take it now! Take it now! I wanna sell my black soul for a yelling out crowd comin’ down at the freak show. (Freak Show) This is a great rock'n'roll album. And the artwork (12 pages booklet) is a jewel, a real masterpiece by Francesco Zanotti (Cheap Wine drummer)
