Cruel Circus

作曲 : Terry Hall/Toby Lyons

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
