Shadowboxing with a dead man as a massacre stills
Fingerdancing to smoke & mirror the masses
Whistling frantic in the gathering dark to steady the ranks
Faith trumps facts
A strong man acts
Greasepaint thick
Growing cracks
A flailing will can kick up sparks
Keep squeezing shills
Catch easy marks
Throw enough show & something will stick
That's shitbusiness!
