Levellers

^{D E D E D} In the past the ^E fools would pay
To ^A see the ^E freaks ^A of the ^E day
^D Contradictions ^E of the norm
The bi ^A zarre, the ^E wonderful ^A and de ^E formed
^D No need for the tents and the cages now
^E The world comes to my eyes
^D In front of my TV circus
^E A freak show in disguise
^Bm Circles and roundabouts
^A How much did you ^E know
^Bm Going round and coming back
The ^A world freak ^E show
^Bm Swings and revolutions
^A How much did you ^E know
^Bm Going round and coming back
The ^A world freak ^E 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...
