Lyrics

Cold and misty morning, I heard a warning borne in the air
 About an age of power where no one had an hour to spare
 Where the seeds have withered, silent children shivered in the cold
 Now their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold
 I'll be there
 I'll be there
 I will be there
 Suffering in silence, they've all been betrayed
 They hurt them and they beat them, in a terrible way
 Praying for survival at the end of the day
 There is no compassion for those who stay, yeah
 I'll be there
 I'll be there
 I will be there
 There must be someone who can set them free
 To take their sorrow from this odyssey
 To help the helpless and the refugee
 To protect what's left of humanity
 Can't you see?
 Can't you see?
 Can't you see?
 I'll be there!
 I'll be there!
 I will be there!
 To heal their sorrow
 To beg and borrow
 Fight tomorrow!
 Step inside, hello! We've a most amazing show
 You'll enjoy it all we know
 Step inside! Step inside!
 We've got thrills and shocks, supersonic fighting cocks
 Leave your hammers at the box
 Come inside! Come inside!
 Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!
 See the show!
 Left behind the bars, rows of Bishops' heads in jars
 And a bomb inside a car
 Spectacular! Spectacular!
 If you follow me there's a specialty
 Some tears for you to see
 Misery, misery
 [Refrain]
 Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!
 See the show!
 Next upon the bill in our House of Vaudeville
 We've a stripper in a till
 What a thrill! What a thrill!
 And not content with that, with our hands behind our backs
 We pull Jesus from a hat
 Get into that! Get into that!
 Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!
 See the show!
 Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends
 We're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside
 There behind a glass stands a real blade of grass
 Be careful as you pass, move along, move along
 Come inside, the show's about to start
 Guaranteed to blow your head apart
 Rest assured you'll get your money's worth
 Greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth
 You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo
 You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll, oh
 Right before your eyes we pull laughter from the skies
 And he laughs until he cries, then he dies, then he dies
 Come inside, the show's about to start
 Guaranteed to blow your head apart
 You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo
 You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll, oh
 Soon the Gypsy Queen in a glaze of vaseline
 Will perform on guillotine, what a scene, what a scene
 Next upon the stand will you please extend a hand
 To Alexander's Ragtime Band, Dixieland, Dixieland
 Roll up, roll up, roll up!
 See the show!
 Performing on a stool we've a sight to make you drool
 Seven virgins and a mule, keep it cool, keep it cool
 We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shown
 Were exclusively our own, all our own, all our own
 Come and see the show, come and see the show
 Come and see the show
 See the show
