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 k** 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
