World Freak Show

[D]  [E]  [D]  [E]

I[D]n the past the fo[E]ols would pay

T[A]o see the[E] freaks [A]of the d[E]ay

C[D]ontradictions of[E] the norm

T[A]he bizarre, [E]the wonderf[A]ul and [E]deformed

N[D]o need for the tents and the cages now

T[E]he world comes to my eyes

I[D]n front of my TV circus

A[E] freak show in disguise

C[Bm]ircles and roundabouts

H[A]ow much did you kn[E]ow

G[Bm]oing round and coming back

T[A]he world frea[E]k show

S[Bm]wings and revolutions

H[A]ow much did you kn[E]ow

G[Bm]oing round and coming back

T[A]he world frea[E]k 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...
