WORLD FREAK SHOW - THE LEVELLERS
--------------------------------

D E D E

D               E
In the past the fools would pay
   A       E      A      E
To see the freaks of the day
D              E
Contradictions of the norm
      A          E         A     E
The bizarre, the wonderful and deformed
D 
No need for the tents and the cages now
E
The world comes to my eyes
D
In front of my TV circus
E
A freak show in disguise

Bm
Circles and roundabouts
A                E
How much did you know
Bm
Going round and coming back
    A           E
The world freak show
Bm
Swings and revolutions
A                E
How much did you know
Bm
Going round and coming back
    A           E
The world freak show

D E D E

Another tree is coming down
Another harpooned whale is drowned
Another child's belly needs feeding
On land the fast-food chain is bleeding
And we bought our new green wool
And pulled it over our eyes
As the circus on all around
A freak show in disguise
Circles and roundabouts...

D E D E
D E D E

And it's circles and roundabouts...
