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
