No One Was Injured
Why So Sad?
Sad clowns and waltzes aren’t selling this year.
This is the song that started it all. It was written about the news story accompanying the headline Drunken trombone-playing clown fires gun from garage, police say. The final line of the news story is the title of this song.
Link to the story is here.
Verse 1:
Clown faced drunk
With a slide trombone
He may bring the funk
But they don't like his tone
Does not get it
Says he's just having fun
In his cammo pants
With his pellet gun
Chorus:
It's no big deal
You must have heard
Ain't no thing
And No one was injured
Verse 2:
Shitfaced drunk
With your slide trombone
Breakin' the PPO
Cause you got in the zone
Playin' your horn
While you shoot at a can
wailin on glissandos
While you look for a band
(chorus)
Bridge:
What's the reason
For the sad songs people play?
What's the reason
sorrow gets in our way?
What's the reason
all the clouds are turning grey?
Hey, man, get a grip.
It's just another day.
Verse 3:
Happy drunk clown
With a sixer of Strohs
Rippin mad licks
that nobody knows
All you wanna do
is be left to your plan
wearin cammo pants
and shootin at a can
(chorus)
