Tonality
DE7DE7DE7
In the past the fools would pay
AE7AE7
To see the freaks of the day
DE7
Contradictions of the norm
AE7AE7
The bizarre, the wonderful and deformed
D
No need for the tents and the cages now
E7
The world comes to my eyes
D
In front of my TV circus
E7
A freak show in disguise
Bm
Circles and roundabouts
AE7
How much did you know
Bm
Going round and coming back
AE7
The world freak show
Bm
Swings and revolutions
AE7
How much did you know
Bm
Going round and coming back
AE7
The world freak show
DE7DE7
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...
DE7DE7DE7DE7
And itʼs circles and roundabouts...

Wall comes down, people stand up

Cross the border, customs shut
