Neon lights, masquerade, we're just puppets on parade Kings in cloaks, laughingstock, dance to their charade Shadows cast on a nation, silly clowns, their creation Painted smiles hide the cries in this circus realization Obey rules with blindfolds, swallow lies they've told Big top home, stained blood, empty dreams they sold Dancing in the circus ring! (Clowns to the government king) Dancing in the circus ring! (For the pigs, we sing) Bloody flags wave high, in crimson skies we lie Greed-fed swine on gold thrones, tears dry while hope dies Voices muted, truth diluted, in this scripted show They feast on power, hour by hour, ignorance grows Fools in suits, casting nets, whitewashed truths we regret Strings are pulled, crowd's deceived, stepping to the puppet's beat Dancing in the circus ring! (Clowns to the government king) Dancing in the circus ring! (For the pigs, we sing) Underneath the big top's hue, reality is far from true Ridicule this life we knew, while the circus profits grew Can't escape, we're bound and sewn, sideshow life, forever owned Locked inside this ring unknown, in this circus, props overthrown Dancing in the circus ring! (Clowns to the government king) Dancing in the circus ring! (For the pigs, we sing)
