Around, around, around, around (Fish in a glass bowl)
See the green fish in a glass bowl
with nothing inside his little soul
swimming the same circuit daily
looking scruffy and really scaly
Around, around, around, around
just like upon a merry-go-round
Around, around, around, around!
Around, around, around, around
just like upon a merry-go-round
He has short term memory loss
and what he has to say, is dross
everybody knows that just sucks
that his input is on constant influx
Around, around, around, around
just like upon a merry-go-round
Around, around, around, around!
Around, around, around, around
just like upon a merry-go-round
His reputation is slowly degrading
but his ignorance keeps him going
the fish thinks he is a tiger shark
but everybody knows that is a lark
Around, around, around, around
just like upon a merry-go-round
Around, around, around, around!
Around, around, around, around
just like upon a merry-go-round
It is the same sh*t, same shovel
as he swims in his slimy hovel
feeding of others like a vulture
and has no value for his culture
Around, around, around, around
just like upon a merry-go-round
Around, around, around, around!
Around, around, around, around
just like upon a merry-go-round
His life goes in a circular motion
and he seems to have no emotion
he is now a big pain in the arse
that green fish in a bowl of glass
Around, around, around, around
just like upon a merry-go-round
Around, around, around, around!
Around, around, around, around
just like upon a merry-go-round
Around, around, around, around,
around, around, around, around,
around, around, around, around,
around.................(ect)
