EF#EF#EF#
In the past the fools would pay
BF#BF#
To see the freaks of the day
EF#
Contradictions of the norm
BF#BF#
The bizarre, the wonderful and deformed
E
No need for the tents and the cages now
F#
The world comes to my eyes
E
In front of my TV circus
F#
A freak show in disguise
C#m
Circles and roundabouts
BF#
How much did you know
C#m
Going round and coming back
BF#
The world freak show
C#m
Swings and revolutions
BF#
How much did you know
C#m
Going round and coming back
BF#
The world freak show
EF#EF#
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...
EF#EF#EF#EF#
And itʼs circles and roundabouts...
N.C.
Peristroika, Reform, Glasnost
(Hardcore sell, Overhead cost)
News at ten, The House, Big Ben
(Half truths, Now and then)
Pol Pot (Border) Massacre (Slaughter)
Rainforests (The presidentʼs daughter)
Irradiate (Evacuate)
(Use, Abuse, Manipulate)
C#m
The peopleʼs will, their bellies full
BF#
Multi-nationals, (kill, kill, kill)
C#m
Dead dictator, sniperʼs retreat
BF#
People claim the power seat
C#m
Wall comes down, people stand up
BF#
Cross the border, customs shut
C#m
Forklift, Airlift, Foreign Aid
BF#
Pockets lined, Army blockade
C#m
Evolution, Progress, Regress
BF#
Power, Possession, Energy Harness
C#m
Economy, Market, High or low
BF#
How much did you know
E
In the world freak show...
EF#EF#E
The world freak show, world freak show, world freak.
