We wrote this one right after we'd finished Digital Child and we were clearly on a roll. John would send me a fully written and arranged verse and I would just finish the song with a chorus that seemed to drop from somewhere, usually within the space of 10-15 minutes.
This song will be included on our forth coming album! Grab it for free now!
lyrics
Welcome to the circus
It's full of fucking tricks
The pigs are in their stys
Rolling in their shit
Some of them are greedy
Needing more feed
Climbing up on two legs
The fucking hypocrites
Managing the clowns
And guiding all the sheep
They're trying to steel the glory
The flavour of the week
Slimy greasy enzymes
Just filling up the room
Blocking out the sunlight
While spraying Piss perfume
What you gonna do
What you gonna say
Who you gonna blame
Where you gonna run
To escape the foul
Foul smell
Nothing left to lose
Nothing left to say
No one left to blame
Nothing you can do
To erase the foul
Foul smell
Welcome to the circus,
You can’t disguise the hog
Dress her up in make up
Lipstick on her gob
Bringing up the punter
By telling packs of lies
Your words mean nothing
The heartless amplified
Gather up your straw
And make yourself a bed
You ain't going nowhere
The butcher wants your head
Tell us all your faults
Stumping in your hooves
Oink! Oink! Oink!
I have nothing left to prove
What you gonna do
What you gonna say
Who you gonna blame
Where you gonna run
To escape the foul
Foul smell
Nothing left to lose
Nothing left to say
No one left to blame
Nothing you can do
To erase the foul
Foul smell
