    Story Behind the Song
    Basically, this is a song about mob mentality, and how, despite media self-congratulation notwithstanding, the same motivations that caused the German citizenry to mindlessly follow Hitler are still present in everyone who participates in mass culture...

    Lyrics
    I wouldn't go out there tonight
    You gotta believe that it's a sorry sight
    They running the newspaper dry
    You'll get down on your knees and you will testify
    Nowhere to run to or to hide
    The Invisible Clowns want to ask you to dance
    You don't stand a ghost of a chance

    They're taking it loud to the streets tonight
    The big boy leader has told them they're right
    They're breaking the glass and they're taking the name
    Until all the people start to think the same

    Look at the box and you'll start to agree
    Only one side of the story to see
    Chomp on your snack and you'll feel the hate
    Your enemy's head looking up from the plate
    Question a thing and you'll become just like them
    You don't stand a ghost of a chance

    Big cheap parade for the champion game
    Losing your head you can't feel the shame
    Open your mouth til the slogan is said
    Cause if you get it wrong they will stuff you with lead
    What do you get when you learn the new chant
    When you run with the crowd and you rave and you rant?
    You're getting plugged with someone else's ideas with no way to express your own real fears

    Big'n'loud'n'cheap and it don't mean a thing

    Sun shining bright on the promise they made
    Fueled by lies and the pawns that they played
    Awaitng your turn you reveal your sin
    They open the mouth and they pour the truth in
    Men you respect being taunted by fools
    The invisible clowns want to talk while you dance
    You don't stand a ghost of a chance

    Your mind is a mess of the movies you've seen
    Your mouth is a speaker for your magazines
    You know that wrong before you say a word
    You're oh so much safer if you join the herd
    And in a way it's better this way
    Don't have to think about all the dues that you don't pay
    Try to remember the easiest chants
    The Invisible Clowns let you call the next dance
