story behind the song: the ever circling clowns running the world
Lyrics
somewhere there are words
awaiting in their order
to mean something to me and you
voices to be heard
amid caviar and hors d'oeuvres
the luxuries of lies and mistruths
saw the president on tv
saw the prime minister as he preened
watched the world fall as they past it all around
no future but for them all tanned and clowned
ain't my circus said the monkeys
ain't my ticket said the crowd
ain't my circus said the monkeys
but its my bigtop said the clowns
ain't my circus said the monkeys
yeah, it's my bigtop said the clowns
