The devil may smile with an angel´s face
A cat may be stolen of its grace
They say it´s 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 that´s in the news)

Oh, the things you see
Makes ignorance bliss for you and me, yeah,
When arrogance does publicity,
Smiling happily

It´s 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 wants to know if the Candyman can

Everybody wants the fancy car
And we´ve all been told not to run too far
But everybody wants to be a rock´n´roll star

Oh, the things you see
Makes arrogance seem the way to be, yeah,
When ignorance spreads conformity,
Smiling happily

It´s a merry go round and around and around
