In the past the fools would pay
GDGD
To see the freaks of the day
CD
Contradictions of the norm
GDGD
The bizarre, the wonderful and deformed
C
No need for the tents and the cages now
D
The world comes to my eyes
C
In front of my TV circus
D
A freak show in disguise
Am
Circles and roundabouts
GD
How much did you know
Am
Going round and coming back
GD
The world freak show
Am
Swings and revolutions
GD
How much did you know
Am
Going round and coming back
GD
The world freak show
CDCD
Another tree is coming down
Another harpooned whale is drowned
Another childʼs belly needs feeding
On land the fast-food chain is bleeding
And we bought our new green wool
And pulled it over our eyes
As the circus on all around
A freak show in disguise
Circles and roundabouts...
