[Verse 1] The circus chatter rattles onward, the hunger feels grotesque The barrel has been emptied, I still can’t find rest The monkeys juggle slogans while the people starve Bananas make them stronger than the law [Pre-Chorus] At the finish I believe it’s claws and teeth Through the cage I cannot breathe Crowds will never notice masks upon the stage tonight It’s gone too long [instrumental chorus] [Verse 2] I’m writing notes of breaking strength, I watch barrels collapse Now I’m Mister Banana, laughing circus acrobat The neighbors shout out “Shut down monkeys, stop their greedy act” I only want to stay near orchard facts Oh, satire’s grasp [Pre-Chorus] At the finish I believe it’s claws and teeth Through the cage I cannot breathe We all watched this chaos spreading wide across the land At last we stand [Bridge] Flee from the circus, monkeys Flee from the circus, monkeys Flee from the circus, monkeys Isn’t the fraud spectacular? [instrumental chorus] [Breakdown] Yet listen Do you wonder how the scam proceeds? ‘Cause I scribble monkeys in my sheets Could you ever trust a crown of fleas? Crown of fleas? [Pre-Chorus] At the finish I believe it’s claws and teeth Through the cage I cannot breathe We all watched this chaos spreading wide across the land At last we stand [Bridge] So flee from the circus, monkeys Flee from the circus, monkeys Flee from the circus, monkeys Isn’t the fraud spectacular? Flee from the circus, monkeys Flee from the circus, monkeys Isn’t the fraud spectacular? Flee from the circus, monkeys Flee from the circus, monkeys Isn’t the fraud spectacular? [instrumental chorus] [outro] Free from the circus, Monkeys Isn't the fraud spectacular?
