"The Show Goes On"

They've shattered my beliefs
Snipers atop the towers
Taken all my heroes down
I'm left with only clowns and mimes
But still the show goes on

No matter what they do
No matter what they say
No matter how they try to ruin it for me
I'll always transcend and survive
And still the show goes on

Always changing the game
Creating dilemma and chaos
Expecting to win by confusion
While amusing their egos
But still the show goes on

They're a tough act to follow
But I do it and succeed
Let them take what they want
Leaving whatever they like in their wake
And still the show goes on

And I'll show them all
They'll know I'm a pro
No matter what they do
It's what I do that matters
And still the show goes on
