In the past the fools would pay
CGCG
To see the freaks of the day
FG
Contradictions of the norm
CGCG
The bizarre, the wonderful and deformed
F
No need for the tents and the cages now
G
The world comes to my eyes
F
In front of my TV circus
G
A freak show in disguise
Dm
Circles and roundabouts
CG
How much did you know
Dm
Going round and coming back
CG
The world freak show
Dm
Swings and revolutions
CG
How much did you know
Dm
Going round and coming back
CG
The world freak show
FGFG
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...
FGFGFGFG
And itʼs circles and roundabouts...
