Circle

Pretty girl of 16
Has fun and runs crazy
Ruined girl of 16
Now a mother, grows lazy
Next a 16-year old baby
Like mother, grows lazy
And her stomach is churning
Whilst her eyes keep on turning
Round and around
Getting no higher
From the ground
Round and around
Round and around
The circle has an empty sound
Father inflicts discipline
Boy rebels against him
He leaves for the big town
For love and adventure
But the words he first heard
Unlike his instincts, run deeper
Now boy beats his children
If they disobey him
And the cat riddled with worms
Chases his tail round
And around
Round and around
Getting no higher
From the ground
Round and around
Round and around
The circle has an empty sound
The endless full circle
For the next in line
The endless full circle
Take the red line
The green line
The silver or blue
Any line you can think of
Except for the yellow
Take a trip with your family
And see where they go
Give them a free ticket
It’s the best thing to do
And if you wind up on the circle line
Hell, it’s not from lack of options
Then if you run into the yellow
Well, that’s up to you
Round and around
Getting no higher
From the ground
Round and around
The circle has an empty sound
The endless full circle
For the next in line
The endless full circle
Are you the next in line?
Round and around
