Welcome to the Freakshow
by: HinderMomma’s got a tattoo, drinking on the volume,
Passed out in the bathroom, feeling no pain.
Daddy’s at the strip club, loving that lot love,
Burning those pills up, making it rain.
Sister’s got the TV, nothing but reality,
Showing her how to be a dirty little skank.
Brother’s got a new dress, pretty as a princess,
Working in the lux, gets money and the pain.
Step right up, yeah, you don’t wanna listen,
Everybody’s got a ticket.
What more, what more,
Living on the front row, welcome to the freak show.
What more, what more,
Jumping off the tight-rope, everybody’s psycho.
Sneak a peak, have a seat, ready, set, here we go,
Welcome to the freak show.
Super sweet in real life, super slutty else where,
Fighting for the spotlight, feeling no shame.
It’s good to be a trainee, put it on the internet,
Making sure they don’t forget my pretty little face.
Look at me, I can be my own paparazzi,
Ain’t nobody gonna stop me.
What more, what more,
Everyone’s a fake team, they shoot for the fifteen.
Nobody can resist it, everybody’s twisted.
Sneak a peak, have a seat, ready, set, here we go,
Welcome to the freak show.
What more, what more,
Living on the front row, welcome to the freak show.
What more, what more,
Jumping off the tight-rope, everybody’s psycho.
Sneak a peak, have a seat, ready, set, here we go,
Welcome to the freak show
