lyrics

Don’t you think that the world is flat?
Maybe they never told you that.
They’ll promise evolution does not exist,
Carnival of fools, flick of the wrist.

Many virgins waiting just for you,
If you’ll blow yourself to Timbuctoo,
One born every minute to raise a fist,
Carnival of fools, flick of the wrist.

Cats and dogs don’t create their own gods,
Yet man’s the only one to start a war.

There’s no wizard in the sky,
All you are is dead when you die,
They preach nonsense if you don’t resist,
Carnival of fools, flick of the wrist.

You should take responsability,
For who you are and how you’ll be,
Think for yourself without assist,
Carnival of fools,flick of the wrist.
