The media circus is coming to town
And all the celebrities will act like clowns
We'll all watch them laugh, we'll all watch them cry
We care what they do but we can't work out why
The media circus is on every day
With its flashing bright lights and its marketing ways
We'll watch the executives walk the trapeze
To sell us some things that we don't really need
I'd say newspapers are the ringleaders
The big top is now the TV
Well there's lions in the adverts, they're roaring really loudly
While the members of the public are holding their head in its teeth
Well the media circus is greedy and rude
And fires its customers through burning hoops
The audience act like they're so unaware
The gossip has numbed them, they don't really care
The media circus is happening because
Of a cheap paparazzi and a stage full of sluts
It's cheap and it's easy, it's on every night
It'll shatter your dreams of a whole different life
I'd say newspapers are the ringleaders
The big top is now the TV
Well there's lions in the adverts, they're roaring really loudly
While the members of the public are holding their head in its teeth
