| Heard about the birds heard about the beasts
|
| Welcome to the circus tell me what you see
|
| I see the fear in the faces
|
| Of the tea drinking chimps on TV
|
| It’s time that we swap places
|
| And went back to swinging in trees
|
| I’ve seen the world about us
|
| And the Disneyland dream’s a lie
|
| But we finally abuse so amusing
|
| 'Cause we get the last laugh time after time
|
| Heard about the birds heard about the beasts
|
| Welcome to the circus tell me what you see
|
| Fur coats on ugly people
|
| Expensively dressed up to kill
|
| In a sport that’s legal
|
| Within the minds of the mentally ill
|
| The skins on the bones are reminders
|
| Of the law of the gun
|
| And the hunting continues and we’ll do until we
|
| Decide to undo the damage that’s done
|
| Heard about the birds heard about the beasts
|
| Welcome to the circus tell me what you see
|
| If you could talk to the animals, to the animals
|
| Could you justify your reasons
|
| With the animals why the animals
|
| Isn’t it enough to eat them
|
| I see a room of sadness
|
| The real version of Frankenstein’s dream
|
| There’s no human kindness |
| Hust white coats and scapegoats and guinea pigs dream
|
| So this is evolution
|
| And the animals do what they’re told
|
| They make contributions
|
| Then we go and swallow them whole
|
| Heard about the birds heard about the beasts
|
| Welcome to the circus tell me what you see |
