Levellers World Freak Show Lyrics

World Freak Show Lyrics

In the past fools would pay

to see the freaks of the day

contradictions of the norm

the bizarre, the wonderful and deformed

no need for the tents

and the cages now

the world comes to my
eyes

in front of my TV circus

a freak show in disguise



circles and roundabouts

how much did you know

going round and
coming back

the world freak show

swings and revolutions

how
much did you know

going round an coming back

world freak show



Another tree is coming down

another harponed whale is
drowned

another child's belly needs feeding

on land of the fast
food chain is bleeding

and we bought our new green wool

and pulled
it over our eyes

as the circus goes on

all around

a freak
show in disguise
