A clown with his pants all on fire
Or the act that's a nightmare of death
Or the scene where the villain is mean
That's execution!

The lights on the lady's car
Or the cop with the gun by his side
Or the ICE where they give it there all
That's execution!

The plot can be hot, simply full of trauma
Or a guy killed by tariffs who used to be a farmer
It could be Oedipus Rex
Where a chap kills his father and causes lots of bother

The clerk who is thrown out of work
By the boss who is thrown for a loss
By the skirt who is doing him dirt
The world is a stage; the stage is a world of entertainment!

It might be a fight like you see on the screen
A king getting slain for the love of a queen
Some great Shakespearean scene
Where police and a gal meet, and then she ends in mincemeat

The guy who was waving the flag
That began with making hate of the fags
Hip hooray! The American way
The world is a stage; the stage is a world of execution!
