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 want to go
Can I stay here just a little more?
Fine all right, 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
Buy 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
Roll your sleeves for paradise
In the morning the Sun will rise
Put your trust in the mighty One
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 them 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
It was too late to turn around
And he snapped, and we clapped
And we had too much fun
But now we're done
