I'm the one who preys upon the weakest
  And the weakest always preys upon the one who's underneath
  I'm the one who doesn't see the waves of human kindness or the tides that
  turn the day
  I'm the one who always turns and looks away
  Turns and looks away
  
  [chorus 1]
  Because after all, we are only boys
  Because after all, we are only boys
  Will be boys will be boys will be boys
  Will be boys will be boys will be boys will be boys
  Will be boys will be boys will be boys
  Will be boys will be boys will be boys
  Will be boys will be boys will be boys
  
  I'm the one treads upon the weaker ones
  Those that I can find
  And there'll always be some others who could march along in line, yeah
  March along in line
  
  And, we'll move upon the world in a massive tidal wave
  And we'll shout and make some noise, yeah
  Shout and make some noise
  
  [chorus 1]
  
  [chorus 2]
  The clowns of death are marching on their hideous parade
  Their glaring eyes are filled with hate, but I am not afraid
  Their painted faces cracked with age, their makeup old and worn
  With tattered wings and toothy grins to amplify their scorn
  They're looking for the helpless ones
  They're looking for the misbegotten
  They prey upon the weak and fractured
  The crippled and the freaks of nature
  
  And when the come upon one who's lost or is alone
  Their smiles get even bigger and their noses start to glow
  Making snarling sounds to pantomime with furious abandon
  And with a scream they pounce to kill and all the while they're laughing
  
  I'm the one treads upon the weaker ones
  Those that I can find
  And there'll always be some others who will march along in line
  
  And, we'll move upon the world in a massive tidal wave
  And we'll shout and make some noise, yeah
  Shout and make some noise
  
  [chorus 1]
  
  [chorus 2]
  
  Your sons and daughters, innocent, lay sleeping in their beds
  They'll catch them when you're not around and smash their little heads
  If you think it just a dream, or that it isn't fair
  Just look around outside your door, the clowns are everywhere
