Story
With a driving bassline, smoky female vocal, fuzz guitar, handclaps, tambourine, brass stabs, and a sinister big-top atmosphere, Clown Tax turns modern politics into a traveling circus of ringmasters, parties, pundits, money games, war talk, medical bills, rocket-ship vanity projects, and spectacle-for-profit. Sharp, catchy, and cynical without picking a single side, the song asks what happens when everybody has a party, but ordinary people are still left with the bill.
