Lyrics

Waking up out of bed, should I work or should I beg? Deep in my eyes what do I see? This is never what I wanted to be. Telling myself I don't wanna go, no. Can I stay here just a little more? Fine, alright, okay, whatever. I have no choice, I guess I'll go. To my bread and circus, bread and circus. Oh now someone help me out of this mess. God knows I'm trying my very best. In the circus I strive to stay alive. Bread and butter never lie, never lie. Seconds melt hour by hour, another day, another dollar. It's what you want, not what you need, but one get another free. Grinding stone and grinding hard, monopoly and playing cards. Gotta go home and watch TV, what more could you want from me? But my bread and circus, bread and circus. Oh now someone help me out of this mess. God knows I'm trying my very best. In the circus I strive to stay alive. Bread and butter never lie, never lie. Won't you seize for paradise, in the morning the sun will rise. Put your trust in the mighty one, yeah, your battle now has just begun. You're here now but it won't be long, before you know it we'll all be gone. Shut 'em out and close your eyes, and keep on praying for, for the grand prize. Bread and circus, bread and circus. Oh now someone help me out of this mess. God knows I'm trying my very best. In the circus I strive to stay alive, alive. Bread and butter never lie, never lie. Spinning and flipping and running so fast, trying hard not to be last. Pick a card, just any card, I can't see, I hope I'm far. Curtain came down, the little kids frowned, when the circus came to town. When the circus came to town, was too late to turn around, and he snapped, and we clapped, and we had too much fun. But now we're done.
