Well there's a man on the news Looking dazed and confused In a scene of massive destruction It doesn't strike any chords As you turn to channel 3 As someone switches it back You prepare to attack And issue some kind of ultimatum Now we're engaged in a war of attrition now Do you believe all that you see Another TV lecture tells me That we all should look to America Another circus passes through my lonely little town Now did you see it happen today? Now did it really happen this way? As this conspiracy gains some momentum and grows It soon becomes that new sensation And then before you can blink it's in a textbook in the school Pass it on - the war is over Pass it on - the papers said Pass it on - the war is back again Pass it on - the queen is dead Another TV lecture tells me That we all should look to America Another circus passes through my lonely little town Now did you see it happen today? Now did it really happen this way? Another TV lecture tells me That we all should look to America Another circus passes through my lonely little town Now did you see it happen today? Now did it really happen this way?
