We are South Africans    We live in a real live circus The Clowns run around acting serious    just one look at them walking proud       and the World laughs out loud The Chimpanzees run amok    Their handlers ail of Culture shock Chasing Trapeze artists round the ring    Men on stilts are finally suffering The Lions have sold their claws and roars    For a few extra child subsidy encores The Tigers crouch in fearful shame    The latest casualties in the Blame Game And the crowd just stares on dazzled    As everything fails, likely embezzled...

We are South Africans    We live in a real live circus The Clowns run around acting serious    just one look at them walking proud       and the World laughs out loud The Chimpanzees run amok    Their handlers ail of Culture shock Chasing Trapeze artists round the ring    Men on stilts are finally suffering The Lions have sold their claws and roars    For a few extra child subsidy encores The Tigers crouch in fearful shame    The latest casualties in the Blame Game And the crowd just stares on dazzled    As everything fails, likely embezzled...
A little too vivid Apologies if I offend...
