The devil may smile with an angels face A cat may be stolen of its grace They say itīs just a matter of time and place
A man may be less than an animal The antichrist write up the honor roll The tightrope walker take the final fall (at his house, in the bathroom, on a holiday, and thatīs in the news)
Oh, the things you see Makes ignorance bliss for you and me, yeah, When arrogance does publicity, Smiling happily
Itīs a merry go round and around and around
The begging boy becomes the begging man The zealot never saves the sacrificial lamb And a child wantīs to know if the Candyman can
Everybody wantīs the fancy car And weīve all been told not to run too far But everybody wants to be a rockīnīroll star
Oh, the things you see Makes arrogance seem the way to be, yeah, When ignorance spreads conformity, Smiling happily
Itīs a merry go round and around and around
