Because of It ft. Carlos Morales Lyrics

I grew up with Bozo making me laugh

He made me decide I'd wanna do that

Followed his footsteps no matter how large

Drove off to school in a miniature car

Spent everyday with latex balloons

Studied my craft night, morning, and noon

Thrived off of smiles, giggles and cheers

Now Stephen King's filled the people with fear

They claimed that he was a good writer

So why did It become a spider

Because of It

I'm constantly struggling to defend what I have done

Because of It

The children who used to laugh at me now scream and run

Because of It

I'm doomed to a life full of sorrow now that my job isn't fun

Because of It

Every weekend I'd be booked up

At birthdays, bar mitzvahs, even the World Cup

At Superbowl parties I'd raise the morale

Although their home team can't score a touchdown

I'd surprise them with water from out of a flower

Or an endless rainbow from out of my mouth

Recently my occupation's no more

Pennywise has made clowns a thing to abhor

Because of It

They're clearancing red balloons, red noses, bike horns, and giant shoes

Because of It

They're canceling parties and fairs all with the same excuse

Because of It

Instead of them singing my praises, I'm stuck singing the blues

Because of It

Why, oh why

Must I alter my life

'Cause a couple bad apples

Went and filled them with fright

Why, oh why

Must I start over now

All because of an author

And his fictional clown

Please dear God

Let the fad of fear fade

Just like Jaws and the beaches

Or snakes on a plane

Help me Lord

Figure out what to do

All I've got is a closet

Full of clown clothes and shoes

Because of It

Princesses have overtaken the private party scene

Because of It

Bozo's gone missing, nobody knows where he could be

Because of It

Each time I put on a smile the kids all flee and scream

Because of It

Every gimmick I do is globally labeled obscene

Because of It

Barnum and Bailey have added a warning to every show

Because of It

The Ringling Brothers have retired their face paint and rubber nose

Because of It

Cities are filling their sewers with concrete to keep him out

Because of It

Now the road's flooded all due to their fear of clowns

Because of It

I'm endlessly trying to find out where I belong

Because of It

I'm stuck on this album singing a stupid doo-wop song

Because of It

Death and public speaking are no longer the world's biggest fears

Because of It

Spiders and clowns are much scarier when they appear

Because of It

If Stephen King's such a good writer

Then why did It become a spider

If Stephen King's such a good writer

Then why did It become a spider

If Stephen King's such a good writer

Then why did It become a spider

If Stephen King's such a good writer

Then why did It become a spider

If Stephen King's such a good writer

Then why did It become a spider

If Stephen King's such a good writer

Then why did It become a spider

If Stephen King's such a good writer

Then why did It become a spider

If Stephen King's such a good writer

Then why did It become a spider
