The Great Collapsing Circus

Well there’s a man on the news
looking dazed and confused
in a scene of massive destruction
It doesn’t strike any chords
as you turn to channel 3
As someone switches it back
you prepare to attack
and issue some kind of ultimatum
Now we’re engaged in a war of attrition now
do you believe all that you see
Another TV lecture tells me
that we all should look to America
Another circus passes through my lonely little town
Now did you see it happen today?
Now did it really happen this way?
As this conspiracy gains some momentum and grows
it soon becomes that new sensation
And then before you can blink it’s in a textbook in the school
Pass it on — the war is over
Pass it on — the papers said
Pass it on — the war is back again
Pass it on — the queen is dead
Another TV lecture tells me
that we all should look to America
Another circus passes through my lonely little town
Now did you see it happen today?
Now did it really happen this way?
Another TV lecture tells me
that we all should look to America
Another circus passes through my lonely little town
Now did you see it happen today?
Now did it really happen this way?
