It's a circus to fool us into thinking that life is
under one big top which is full of,..
..full of..
full. Stop

we've seen this show before. they say,
a replay a day keeps reality at bay
which wouldn't be Morecambe Bay,
would it?

The scales have been weighted
and we're being short-changed
I don't need a clown to tell me
that.

The lions are making adverts for chocolate
the monkeys make adverts for tea
that only leaves Tony the tiger and
I think that he's hungry for me.
