All the little children playin' in the yard
A sunny day for them nothing's really hard
But they don't know what it's like to wear
Shoes so big that people stare
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/e/eels/sad+clown_20585297.html ]
All the little children forget my name
They're all to busy playin' their stupid game
But they have no clue what it is
To be inside of todays showbiz

I am a sad clown
My smile is upside down

No amount of make-up can conceil
The pain in my heart that I feel
Laughing fools at what I say
But know inside there's hell to pay

I am a sad clown
My smile is upside down
All the little children forget my name
All the little children forget my name
