lyrics

Roll up, Roll up yeah
Today's the day the circus rolls into town
They've raised the tent you better get your tickets now
What feels like magic but is just a simple trick
They take your money and make all kinds of drugs with it
Count the clowns, two, three and maybe four
Their painted faces will leave you coming back for more
The smell of rotting shit is floating in the air
I tell you now that it just aint fair
We're going to the circus
Get your serve of hocus pocus
The drunk fools are fighting in the street
Welcome to the carnival of
Roll up, roll up yeah
Roll up to the greatest show you've ever seen
When the night turns black the ring master will surely scream
"Lets get ready to rumble"
And from his coat he pulls a list held in his right hand
A sweeping declaration claiming all his rights to the land
The people realize hes crazy
We're going to the circus
Get your serve of hocus pocus
The drunk fools are fighting in the street
Welcome to the carnival of freaks
We're living in a circus
They were lying when they said they'd serve us
Politicians lying through their teeth
Welcome to the government of cheats.
