The devil may smile
with an angels face
A cat may be stolen
of its grace
They say it's just a matter
of time and place
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
A merry go round
and around
Merry go round
and around and around
It's a merry go round
The begging boy
becomes the begging man
The zealot never saves
the sacrificial lamb
And a child want's to know
if the Candyman can
Candyman can
The Candyman can
Everybody want's
the fancy car
And we've all been told
not to run too far
But everybody wants
to be a rock'n'roll star
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
A merry go round
and around and around
Merry go round
and around and around
It's a merry go round
It's a merry go round
and around and around
A merry go round
and around and around
A merry go round
and around and around
Merry go round
Merry go round
and around and around
A merry go round
and around and around
A merry go round
and around and around
Merry go round
