^AMy landlady treats me like I don't pay my rent ^AGave my car to my mechanic, I ain't seen it since ^AMy phone is always ringing, when I want to be alone ^AThey try and sell me everything from Heaven to cologne Every^Dbody's got an offer I can't re^Afuse It's a ci^Ercus out here mama, Your baby's got the sideshow bl^Aues

^AIt's all a big commercial, It's a video of a man ^AIt's a plot to put an end to my attention span ^AThey make up all these issues, I never understood ^AIf I thought I could change things I'd run out to Hollywood But it's ^Dhard to kick the door down when you ain't wearing any ^Ashoes It's a cir^Ecus out here mama, Your baby's got the sideshow blu^Aes
