Heard about the birds
Heard about the bees
Welcome to the circus
Tell me what you see

I see a fear in the faces
Of the tea drinking chimps on TV
It's time that we swap places
And went back to swinging in trees
I've seen the world about us
And the Disneyland dream's a lie
But we finally abuse so amusing
'Cause we get the last laugh time after time

Heard about the birds
Heard about the bees
Welcome to the circus
Tell me what you see

Fur coats on ugly people
Expensively dressed up to kill
In a sport that's legal
Within the minds of the mentally ill
The skins on the bones are reminders
Of the law of the gun
And the hunting continues and we'll do until we
Decide to undo all the damage that's done

Heard about the birds
Heard about the bees
Welcome to the circus
Tell me what you see

If you could talk to the animals, to the animals
Could you justify your reasons
With the animals, why the animals
Isn't it enough to eat them

I see a room of sadness
The real version of Frankenstein's dream
There's no human kindness
Just white coats and scapegoats and guinea pigs scream
So this is evolution
And the animals do what they're told
They make contributions
Then we go and swallow them whole

Heard about the birds
Heard about the bees
Welcome to the circus
Tell me what you see
