I am the fear of the unknown
The prejudice deep inside you
I have created a boogeyman for you
And the masses, they follow me
I always have the simple solution
So that no one has to think much
The main thing is to rage, splutter, hate
That is the balm for every frustration
Who, who is afraid of the horror clown?
Who, who is afraid of the horror clown?
(The white man [afraid] of the black man)
(The black man [afraid] of the Ku Klux Klan)
(The Ku Klux Klan [afraid] of the Taliban)
Who, who is afraid of the horror clown?
(We need to build a wall)
(No one has the intention to build a wall)
I am the envy that nags at you
The rage in your spare tire1
The dread that agitates you and plagues you
When they steal the bone from you
I love the game of hate and fire
I like to hold the reins
It's not very expensive to get in here
Come into monkey country
Who, who is afraid of the horror clown?
Who, who is afraid of the horror clown?
(The white man [afraid] of the black man)
(The black man [afraid] of the Ku Klux Klan)
(The Ku Klux Klan [afraid] of the Taliban)
Who, who is afraid of the horror clown?
The first step to the new wall
Are the thoughts that separate us
Whoever helps to build it
Is in the running for me
(We need to build a wall)
Who, who is afraid of the horror clown?
Who, who is afraid of the horror clown?
Who, who is afraid of the horror clown?
(The white man [afraid] of the black man)
(The black man [afraid] of the Ku Klux Klan)
(The Ku Klux Klan [afraid] of the Taliban)
Who, who is afraid of the horror clown?
