Sorry Go Round by Poets of the Fall Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The devil may smile with an angel's face
A cat may be stolen of its grace
They say it's just a matter of time and place
A matter of time and place

A man may be less than an animal
The antichrist write up the honor roll
The tightrope walker take the final fall
At his house, in the bathroom, on a holiday, and that's in the news

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the things you see
Makes ignorance bliss for you and me
Yeah, when arrogance does publicity
Smiling happily

[Chorus]
It's a merry-go-round and around and around
A merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and around and around
It's a merry-go-round, oh
[Verse 2]
The begging boy becomes the begging man
The zealot never saves the sacrificial lamb
And a child wants to know if the candy man can
The candy man can, the candy man can

Everybody wants the fancy car
And we've all been told not to run too far
But everybody wants to be a rock'n'roll star
Rock'n'roll star

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the things you see
Makes arrogance seem the way to be
Yeah, when ignorance spreads conformity
Smiling happily

[Chorus]
It's a merry-go-round and around and around
A merry-go-round and round and round
Merry-go-round and around and around
It's a merry-go-round, ah

[Chorus]
It's a merry-go-round and around and around
A merry-go-round and round and round
A merry-go-round and around and around
Merry-go-round, ah
[Chorus]
It's a merry-go-round and around and around
A merry-go-round and round and round
A merry-go-round and around and around
Merry-go-round, oh
