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 placeA 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 happilyIt's a merry go round and around and aroundThe begging boy becomes the begging man
The zealot never saves the sacrificial lamb
And a child want's to know if the Candyman canEverybody 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 starOh, the things you see
Makes arrogance seem the way to be, yeah,
When ignorance spreads conformity,
Smiling happilyIt's a merry go round and around and around
