Pierrot

The clown wears a great big smile
And silly clothes
And, even though he falls down, he laughs and jumps and performs
But he's crying on the inside.
(that's right) we all watch him and laugh,
(but) we are the same as him
What's wrong with living a pretentious life? (come on!)

[chorus]
Knock (x8) - do you hear me pounding on my chest?
Pop (x8) - all the bubbles pop
What (x8) - will you, can you understand my message?
Knock, knock, pop, and what, chan chan, chan chan

I've won, i've got riches and glory
Now's the time i've got everything i want
But i've forgotten something more important
I've met with the new and lost my self-discipline
I've lived and rested comfortably in my small-time success
But it became my greatest enemy.
After i realized that, i've begun to despise myself
Now, in step with the start of a new century,
I've rekindled the flickering flame
With my will burning anew
I've spread my wings wide
I've started a new life focused on me
That's me, and
You are still you
Hiding after shouting out forcefully
Regret, promises, deception, hesitation,
Your useless self-respect
The giraffe picture you drew is bad.*
Don't turn away
Examine your own nature
Go back to your own place
Do your own thing
And run back up.

[chorus]

Don't fool yourself
Don't get into it
Don't be defensive
Don't act like a clown
When you see a clown, all you do is point
But that could be us
You gotta understand
Out with the lies
I'm tellin' you like it is
Don't blindly go back to the ring
We gotta escape, we gotta change

Now, i'm full of hope, i'm starting my great future,
Now i understand, but you don't know
You have a choice to make, you gotta stand up,
You gotta be honest with yourself
Turn over a new leaf, be true and wise

[repeat chorus twice]

What what what say what what what what
Chan chan chan chan!!
