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

Bread and Circus oh now

In the morning the Sun will rise
Put your trust in the mighty One

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"
