D5               E5
In the past the fools would pay
   A5       E5      A5      E5
To see the freaks of the day
D5              E5
Contradictions of the norm
      A5          E5         A5     E5
The bizarre, the wonderful and deformed
D5 
No need for the tents and the cages now
E5
The world comes to my eyes
D5
In front of my TV circus
E5
A freak show in disguise

B5
Circles and roundabouts
A5                E5
How much did you know
B5
Going round and coming back
    A5           E5
The world freak show
B5
Swings and revolutions
A5                E5
How much did you know
B5
Going round and coming back
    A5           E5
The world freak show

D5 E5 D5 E5

Another tree is coming down
Another harpooned whale is drowned
Another child's 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...

D5 E5 D5 E5
D5 E5 D5 E5

And it's circles and roundabouts...
