LYRICS:
A child was born in this world
With a tragic mandible flaw
The doctors did what they could
Giving him a mechanical jaw
Rejected by society
Abandoned and alone
He'd nearly given up hope
Til he stumbled on... a home
Come and join the freak show
There's a place for you
We will be the family
That you never knew
Come and join the freak show
There's no need to fear
Welcome to the freak show
Everyone is welcome here!
This boy, was lost and deprived
But when he came in here, why he thrived!
He had brand new life to live, he had a lot of love to give
Thankful that we'd welcomed him inside
He grew - became a strapping man!
With a jaw that cut through any metal can!
He had talent for the stage
For thrilling folks of any age
Traveling with us throughout the land!
Come and join the freak show
There's a place for you
We will be the family
That you never knew
Come and join the freak show
There's no need to fear
Welcome to the freak show
Everyone is welcome here!
Human Wonder!
So Bizarre!
Such a strange appearance in touring show like this can take a man so very far!
But jaws of metal
Tend to rust
Leading a young man like this to fall under a grave sickness and TURN TO DUST
Poor lad, too young to be gone
But the tetanus in his blood was just too strong
His metal jaw was firmly locked
And all the other freaks were shocked
With no idea to what was going wrong
So sad. Was nothing they could do
With the medicine of 1892
They stayed right by him to the end
And loyal to their boy and friend
They sang to him this tune
Welcome to the freak show
There's a place for you
We will be the family
That you never knew
Come and join the freak show
There's no need to fear
Welcome to the freak show
Everyone is welcome here!
Welcome to the freak show
There's a place for you
We will be the family
That you never knew
Come and join the freak show
There's no need to fear
Welcome to the freak show
Everyone is welcome here!

Any band that uses a kazoo in a serious song and makes it work has my respect

[@danielracovitan9779]

this is a facetious song, not a serious one

[@Petaurista13]

​@@danielracovitan9779 Define "serious song". Plot twist which break whole world: Actually devide for "classical music" and "entertainment music" is result of music teachers being snobs and ignoramooses. Most classical musicans were entertainment ones in their times. Only reasons I know are: 1. National (and some other) anthems 2. Sacral music (for all cults and faiths) 3. Marches (some) and other military or guerilla songs But difference between XL symphony and this song is technically same like between _Romeo & Juliette_ and _Fast&Furious_ If you think about purpose there is no difference at all.

I entered specting a bizzarre and creepy story about a Steampunk Freakshow with all kinds of tortured demi-mechanical monsters, but ended up being a bizzarre, yet wholesome story about acceptance and family out of biological family. A true masterpiece, gentlemen.

It's two gentlemen and a lady. The drummer is Renate Goodman, a ripped black woman who has a very fun personality.

Doctors in 1892: Mechanical prosthetics, no vaccines

[@sdd1018]

They got there priorities in order

[@therealwouburn3688]

No, the medicine of 1872 at least, had mechanical prosthetics.

[@whitechapel8959]

True. If you survive the infection.:0

[@tenebriasknight3981]

This actually made me almost cry

[@bagellord113]

Sounds like creature feature and steampunk had a child and it's amazing

[@markusallen102]

Now I need to see a creature feature and the cog is dead collaboration

[@chatteringbox7583]

[@willieearles3151]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had this thought.

[@riversunfeather2725]

Between this and "We All Have Fears" you guys seem to be adding more of a Dark Cabaret sound and spin to your music. I like it. :)

[@spectre.shadows]

BEHOLD! My steam powered giraffe! Damn! The cog is dead it won't do! *Turns to a iron block dressed up like a mad scientist* What do you think Dr. Steel? 1331243243423432/10

[@steveninsertlastnamehere3389]

You should really consult Dr.Elemental. *Points to a Periodic Table.*

[@spectre.shadows]

Amazing. Absolutely smashing. (reply to Steven)

[@kadenvoodoo2053]

maybe you should get anibel mc,calister to raise a dead giraffe so the steam powered giraffe wont get lonely? (she's from A steampunk Opera, new albion 1.wmv)

Charlie Da Awesome that's just the ballad of mona lisa

[@juliusschannelindeeditis7754]

Dr steel ey I haven’t heard that name in ages

[@krek420]

Rejected by society because of a "flaw", later learning that he is unique. "There's a place for you" it means that everyone is unique Then there is a slow memorial when the metal jaw man dies, it remins us that loved ones pass away. But then we need to move on and continue with our lives.

[@suuyasha2496]

very well said mate.

[@growmance2191]

It's sad he went throw all that crap just find a family and die and not live out his years with his loving family

[@nimrok777]

I never knew that there was a steam punk bands untill I was listening to Spotify

[@Artem44461]

Great song! Once again wondering John's voice. And amazing lyrics: so interesting to listen and so hard to sing (especially if english is not your first language). Thank you for you music

[@Gothippy]

That gave me shivers! Wicked job!

[@yeethittter1285]

Everybody gangsta till the cog is dead whips out their kazoos

[@earltroske]

I'd nearly given up hope of there ever being another album. Thank you!

[@xAxeManiacx]

I'd nearly given up hope when I stumbled on.. this song XD

[@rhymeorreasondaytona436]

Another creative genius work of art!

[@SirNightmareFuel]

The art is so on point.

[@EllAntares]

Heh, one thing about this story: tetanus isn't caused by rust. It's an infection from soil and from our gut caused by bacteria... and in 1890s of our world they ALREADY knew it and knew how to stop tetanus and what caused it (breakthrough happened during War of North and south)

[@SharowbladyeGaymerPorate]

Well um... that um.... was ...well.... um... Interesting Sorry my mind went blank and I'm too lazy to delete it

[@theeternalguardian4185]

Well that's not true !Tetanus is caused by rust ...If it wasn't why when people get caught by rusted metal they are sent to be given anti Tetanus serum ?

[@amberdawn5076]

@@theeternalguardian4185 Because rusty metal tends to be around soil and other infected material.

[@nathanielwright1183]

Well, he's only one step closer to becoming the dictator of a small nation.

[@yeethittter1285]

Well, not really. He died.

[@leahmiller9642]

[@someoneawesome8717]

Indeed do you think they'd accept a one legged dancer?

[@MezephelesArt]

[@maklavmakedonluka3338]

The part of the school class thats normal lol

[@electrobob992]

Sounds like an SCP...

[@Nope23890]

I wonder what it would sound like if they replaced the word jaw with maw at the segment were they said the doctors gave him a mechanical jaw “giving him a mechanical jaw” “giving him a mechanical maw”

[@mirjanaklickovic8215]

❤🎉😂👍

[@the9thsymphony900]

This band reminds me so much of Steam Powered Giraffe, but with a twist. Idk what the twist is, they should just make a song together

[@thecogisdead]

Thanks, Steam Powered Giraffe is amazing! And we actually did make a song together on this same album! ^_^ kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGKThYGvjpt2oqMsi=WoGpDh5Tmb_rcE-a

[@Beanoz4]

Dr Steel anyone?

[@shadesnow5357]

+Scott Gerrard Dr.Steel,The cog is dead,and Vernian Process are some of the best bands

[@Beanoz4]

I really miss Dr Steel, it's a shame he retired. Voltaire, Steam Pun Giraffe and Professor Elemental are also pretty good steampunky musicians/bands 

[@growmance2191]

Where do I sign up to join the freak show my family on my dads side never really accepted my older sister cause we are bastards .a lot of old Roman Catholics look down on that . My mom didn’t accept me until I was an adult cause I have aspbergers and adhd I didn’t fully feel loved and accepted until I started working for the past 6 years from the green house job I had to now working in produce at a grocery store .❤

I KNOW THE STORY OF THAT CHILD..48

[@thatonehumanirken2006]

Im probably looking too deep but the boy with the metal jaw must have a hard time speaking cus he cant move his bottem lips or tounge

[@MrLagrima21]

I'm Excuse me if you're a boy or a girl if it supposed to be scary or nice

[@MrLagrima21]

Is this aposto be scare or nothing

[@feuxheartbreakerfox]

Antonio Rivera its a mix of both. It tells the tail of a boy born with a jaw problem do it was replaced by a metallic jaw. However, it caused him to be rejected by everyone and he nearly killed himself until he found the freak show. The freaks there welcomed him like one of their own and raised him like a child. He grew up to be a strapping man with a jaw that could cut through any metal. However, over time his jaws rusted and they clamped shut and he has soon died of Tetnus. The freaks were devastated that they lost one of their own, but they still continue the circus in order to help keep his spirit alive for all.

[@theeternalguardian4185]

Oh yeah , I love so much this song !👍❤️👌💯⭐💎🏵️ It sounds so silly but so dark in the same time !🎩🎉🎆🎈🎊💯🔥⚙️💣☠️💥🎩 I also find amazing how deep message the lyrics have which give me Ava Max's "so am I " vibes but in a steampunk version of it with a more mysterious and storytelling way ...🤔🤔🤔And that's wonderful!!!🤩🤩🤩

[@greysonhann]

Am I 😀
