remember when �-

A
all the world was a stage dive,
                      E
all the world loved a clown, 
                      D
knowing how the clown hated them
                              A - Ab - Gb - E
and all the clowns in the house
E - Gb - Ab- A
stared up at the stage.
                   E
They used to get so mad.
                    D
The had such a good thing that day
                        A - Ab - Gb - E
but at the last minute it just sort of went bad.
A
They lost their nerve,
E
They just went straight.
D
They didn�t have the balls to hold it down and

they brought everybody else right down with them
While clowns must stand.

So welcome.
Welcome to the scene!
You�ve all got to come out and have a drink with me. I�ll buy round one,
you buy round two,
you buy round three.
We�ll make a toast to absent friends
and better days,
to remembering and being remembered as brave
and not as a bunch of whining jerks.
To the quitters and the complainers,
if we never meet again remember this �-

All the world is a stage dive
All the world loves a clown.
You know that clowns hate them and
how hard it is to get a clown out of the house
and up on the stage.
But tonight you�ve come, you�re here, I�m so glad.
Don�t forget how it feels kids and don�t crap out.

Don�t lose your nerve.
Do not go straight.
You must testify or
I�m going to come to your house to
punch you in the mouth
�cause clowns must stand.

When a clown goes straight all clowns are hurt. When a clown abandons his passion
all his friends end up with egg on the face.
Clowns must stand.
