Well I travel around in a painted truck
I'm three feet tall and short on luck
I got tattoo's all over my skin
You gotta pay to get in

I go from town to town, state to state
Just gettin' by and workin' late
Scaring kids, when I'm in the mood
'Cause I'm a side-show freak with a bad attitude

He's just a side-show freak
I'm a side-show freak !
Yeah he's a side-show freak
I got a bad attitude
He's just a side-show freak
That's what it say's on my passport mam !
Now don't you point your finger at him, it's rude
I'm just a side-show freak with a bad attitude

I drive a six inch nail in the side of my head
The Kids all scream as my blood runs read
I'm your fire-eatin', mother-f*ckin' fantasy
But I'm sick of people staring at me

Night after night the crowds file in
Frustration's growin' in these stunted limbs
I strike out at some grinnin' dude
'Cause I'm a side-show freak with a bad attitude

Well the circuit's long and the wage's low
Now the boss-man tells me this is my last show
I fix him one of my meanest looks
'Cause I'm a side-show freak with a bad left hook.
