Robin Rendell's We Are The Clowns

A protest song from the vaults. This one from 2015. The recording is from my Lockdown Sessions. I wanted to create a new language for the chorus, which is a translation of the spoken introduction. I got my mum's name - Ella - in the chorus. The only time I'd mentioned her in a song. #folksong #folk #original #protest #protestsongs #singersongwriter We Are The Clowns Robin J Rendell © 2015 Mother Earth and the Lords of the Stars Summon the Guardians of the Night Raise the voices of our Fathers in the Moon and the Sun Mother Earth and the Lords of the Light Atu Eyla, oku Ola una Ella Anu Ohna una Kai Ahu Eena una Rani Uno oku Eyna Atu Eyla, oku Ola una Rai We are the travellers who won’t pay the fare The first generation with nothing to share Too many times we have let the coin spin Gotten away by the teeth of our skin Now the paint on the wall has started to run And we are too blinded by what we’ve become Roll up; roll up there’s a circus in town We are the clowns, my friends; the curtain comes down We play our fiddles and watch the soil burn The new commandments that don’t let us turn Cradled in science in the hands of the strong Corporate communion at the heart of the con Now the paint on the wall has started to run And the early bird chokes on the chemical crumbs Roll up; roll up there’s a circus in town We are the clowns, my friends; the curtain comes down We steal from our children, give their future away The children of children who paid for our day In the bowl of the beggar we see who we are Smell the blood on the knife but don’t see the scar Now the paint on the wall has started to run And we are too deaf and we are too dumb Roll up; roll up there’s a circus in town We are the clowns, my friends; the curtain comes down Atu Eyla, oku Ola una Ella Anu Ohna una Kai Ahu Eena una Rani Uno oku Eyna Atu Eyla, oku Ola una Rai Atu Eyla, oku Ola una Ella Anu Ohna una Kai Ahu Eena una Rani Uno oku Eyna Atu Eyla, oku Ola una Rai Roll up; roll up there’s a circus in town We are the clowns We are the clowns © Robin J Rendell
