Joshua Burnside - Good For One Thing Lyrics

Joshua Burnside Lyrics

"Good For One Thing"

Baptized, civilized, open your eyes
Your shiny brogues
Aren't foolin' anyone

Step right up
Step right up
You're horror hungry
That's the truth

We've the malformed
The deformed
Money back if you're not reborn

But they'll never be above you
Tell 'em you can smell their blood
And stand up straight up son
Make us some money
Only good for one thing
The coin that you bring in so
Make 'em dance
Make 'em sing

High-wire mystifier
Little miss mercier
Spitting into
The face of Zeus

Step right up
Step right up
You're horror hungry
That's the truth

Witness the limbless
The shrunken, sunken and the skinless

But they'll never be above you
Tell 'em you can smell their blood
And stand up straight up son
Make us some money
Only good for one thing
The coin that you bring in so
Make 'em dance
Make 'em sing

But they'll never be above you
Tell 'em you can smell their blood
And stand up straight up son
Make us some money
Only good for one thing
The coin that you bring in so
Make 'em dance
Make 'em sing
