The devil may smile with an angels face. A cat may be stolen of its grace. They say it's just 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). Oh the things you see. Makes ignorance bliss for you and me yeah. When arrogance does publicity. Smiling happily. It's a merry go round and around and around. The begging boy becomes the begging man. The zealot never saves the sacrificial lamb. And a child want's to know if the Candyman can. Everybody want's the fancy car. And we've all been told not to run too far. But everybody wants to be a rock'n'roll star. Oh the things you see. Makes arrogance seem the way to be yeah. When ignorance spreads conformity. Smiling happily. It's a merry go round and around and around
