LYRICS:
The show’s in full swing,
So drop your fucking things, stop spinning,
Nicotine stains on our brains,
It’s all the same,
White trash machines,
Dirty fiends with silent screams,
Carny fucking superstars,
We are what you are,
We’re a freak show,
Where to go? We don’t know,
Round and round and round we go!
Carousel,
Spinning ‘til you go insane,
Carousel,
This world will melt your brain,
Carousel,
Decadent spirals
And multi-coloured labels
Everything’s a blur,
Speeding up ‘til it takes you under,
Apathy is everything,
But still I sing,
Welcome to the carousel,
It’s a living hell,
We’re a freak show,
Where to go? We don’t know,
Round and round and round we go!
Carousel,
Spinning ‘til you go insane,
Carousel,
This world will melt your brain,
Carousel,
Life is a carousel my dear,
It keeps us spinning,
People don’t understand our world,
They want to change it,
Welcome to the freak show, babe,
We’ll never change you,
Endlessly spinning, it's a carousel,
Round and round and round you go,
Where you'll end you'll never know,
Round and round and round you go,
Where you'll end you'll never know,
Life is a carousel my dear,
It keeps us spinning,
People don’t understand our world,
They want to change it,
Welcome to the freak show, babe,
We’ll never change you,
4 3 2 1,
Carousel.

LYRICS:
Its alive baby,
A flash of light, crazy?
Just as well, maybe,
This is you dreaming,
A music box singing,
Your ear drums ringing,
A psychopath grinning,
The music is breathing,
Song for no seasons,
Devoid of all reason,
Musical treason,
Sanity screaming,
Dumb down,
Art that’s easily digestible,
Dumb down,
My hooks are irresistible,
Dumb down,
Ridicule it in every way you can,
Dumb down,
It’s only music man!
It’s just another song to get stuck in your head,
For days and days and days and days,
Our music box won’t stop until the day that we’re dead,
And it plays and plays and plays and plays!
Over and over and over,
Music box,
Music box,
Music box,
Neon chords clawing,
Sarcastic bite gnawing,
A cold stare thawing,
You pay for what you get
The box keeps turning,
Ideas keep churning,
Fire keeps burning,
And youve not heard it all yet,
Yeah!
Dumb down,
Art that’s easily digestible,
Dumb down,
My hooks are irresistible,
Dumb down,
Ridicule it in every way you can,
Dumb down,
It’s only music man!
It’s just another song to get stuck in your head,
For days and days and days and days,
Our music box won’t stop until the day that we’re dead,
And it plays and plays and plays and plays!
Music box,
Music box,
Music box,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Music box,
Music box,
Music box,
It’s only music man!
Dumb down.

LYRICS:
Your grass is greener,
This is not enough for me,
Your skin is cleaner,
Cigarettes and jealousy,
Failure is a given,
Everything is noise,
Give me your religion,
Mixed with every poison,
The pursuit of something better,
The pursuit of something better,
The world is faint,
I sense the vultures,
Dead notes and paint,
A requiem for culture,
This wreck will crash,
I don’t have what it takes,
Shakespeare’s ash, crap for cash,
Just pass me the cake,
The pursuit of something better,
The pursuit of something better,")
