The Circus

The world is a circus

Oh, look what they can do

To that horse, to that lion

To that tiger and that bear

The world is an arena

And the cage waits in the back

For that eagle, for that monkey,

for that ape and all of you

They applaud, they applaud

to the parody of nature

it’s a fraud, it’s a fraud

it’s a conscience stimulator

What a show, what a show

they present us what they’ve trained

with that man, with that woman,

with that child and all of us

We consume, we consume

we got to work and then we sleep

we buy and then we eat

when we oppose they shut us up

Make it stop, make it stop

before the clowns will eat themselves

we gotta leave the circus

cause we want to see the world

The circus of tears

plays the requiem of life

here we go – here we go

it’s an animal show – to go
