Lyrics
The eyes around the table
Share the same blank stare
Beaten but able to empathize and care
Dirty thoughts and wants abound in the room
Feel the itch of impending doom
Vagabond caravan rolling through town today
Sirens and flashing lights fall on the alleyways
Freak shows, lost souls looking for a place to go
Come one come all, Everybody welcome to the carnival
Merry go round and round the world keeps turning
Merry go round and round the world keeps turning
Merry go round and round the dream keeps burning
Merry go round and round, we all fall down
So form a perfect circle
Pay to share your pain
Support the system be sure to state your name
Beat back the animal locked in its cage
Pray to God it won't escape again some day
