In my seat
The lights dimmed
The show is about to start
Just like last years
And the years before that
The show starts yet again
The same acts
The same hacks
The show never changes
Every year’s the same
Every year’s the same monotony
The show really needs to change
Always there’s an occasional spectacle
But even that’s a thin cream over the stank
The show has become vomit inducing
Every word uttered by the acts
Every stupid feat fumbled
The show is an embarrassment
Always the familiar faces in the show
Occasionally someone new emerges
The show needs more variety
The show really needs an update
The show desperately needs to change
The circus owes me for this tripe
