I write my poem
And sing my song
I paint my picture
And wonder where I belong 

The world is a circus
Spinning around
The world is a circus
In the eyes of a clown
And it goes on
On and on and on
And it goes on
On and on and on 

I watch the TV
There're children in the garbage
I watch the TV
A man that's trying to be free
I turn out the light
I don't want to see 

The world is a circus
Spinning around
The world is a circus
In the eyes of a clown
And it goes on
On and on and on
And it goes on
On and on and on

I turn on my radio
And they talk about the war
The rich is getting richer
And the poor is getting poorer
I close my eyes
I don't want to see 

The world is a circus
Spinning around
The world is a circus
In the eyes of a clown
And it goes on
On and on and on
And it goes on
On and on and on
And it goes on
On and on and on
And it goes on
On and on and on
