Story behind the song
Circumstances of the Present World needed an ending and what better ending than ranting at our recurring and worldwide known stadium anthem The Show Must Go On, by giving it an alternate sister The Show Is Over. Nothing dramatic in that, just once again the opportunity to face the truth and analyze the poor state of The Society of the Spectacle. As well as Guy Debord, Noam Chomsky will also be invited at the party. There should be Michael Moore in the corner too, all celebrating a new start to this world, a new start where every generation will not have to go through this unpleasant feeling of déjà vu as they get older. Propositions are next…
Lyrics
THE SHOW IS OVER
The show is over
Everything’s been said, everything’s been done
Rewind and repeat the whole story, recycle the wastes and pray
The show is over
Change the layout, keep the meaning
Pass your way
There’s nothing left to see in here
The show is over
The agonizing beast will try to keep you watching
Turn your eyes away
Don’t listen to the sirens
The show is over
Murdered by a lack of jeopardy
Figures aligned monthly in black books
The show is over
And it takes time to realize the scope of the disaster
Sound the alarm and run for your life
The show is over
And it’s a whole genration wasted by the hour
Turn the light off
Kill the spark
The show is over
The show is over
The mirror hung crooked
Admiring your feet
You start to think
What have I done for me lately
The show is over
Shallow and selfish
Biting its tail
And you want more of this never ending feeling
The show is over
The show is over
Give me your hand
We’ll stand on this crumbling wall
And watch the sunset on the horizon
The show is over
People mourning the loss of their cherished nation
But there’s no salvation in claustrophobia
The show is over
The ruins erected as a proud replica
Of the best screening ever shown to date
The show is over
And somewhere there’s a man in the middle
Who knows more than others
What’s going on here
The show is over
Face the truth and live your life to the best
Forget all notions of what’s hip or lame
The show is over
Music is dead
Killed by businessmen
In 3 piece suits who know better than you
The show is over
Roam around for a while and leave this town
Buy a farm and switch your head off clear
The show is over
Round and round and round and round and round and
Over and over again
