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 consumer 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
