There is the hot girl, a wanna be model
There's the ugly one, who thinks she is delicious
There's the school girl, who wanna blow her teacher
The same people over and over again

There is the smart guy, a wanna be genius
The photographer, who thinks he won a prize
There's the office chief, a wanna be martyr
The same people over and over again

They all belong in a circus
that should have been shut down for good

And then there's "you and me", the things we see
Are wild and beautiful, pure and different
You and me, our world is free
From all their shallowness, we are different
From all - the boring thing that they call life
A life that has already been lived by someone else

There is the poor kid, bullied by bastards
There's the big jerk, who thinks he's always right
(The) local band, who act like motley crue
The same people over and over again
The politician, he'd sell you for a dime
The musician, who couldn't write a rhyme
The follower, the stalker, the greedy and the vain
The same individuals over again

They all belong in a circus
that should have been shut down for good

And then there's "you and me", the things we see
Are wild and beautiful, pure and different
You and me, our world is free
From all their shallowness, we are different
From all - the boring thing that they call life
A life that has already been lived by someone else

Ladies and gentlemen get your tickets now!
The show is continuous it's never out
it's never over, it goes on all the time!
We told you we had living, breathing monstrosities
They did not ask to be brought into the world
but into the world they came
Come forward, come forward!
Welcome to the freak show!

They all belong in a circus. The sideshow of life

And then there's "you and me", the things we see
Are wild and beautiful, pure and different
You and me, our world is free
From all their shallowness, we are different from all
the boring thing that they call life
A life that has already been lived by someone else
