The Circle Lyrics


"Our take on censorship and the PMRC. "Unheard of then, accepted now" is saying think of Elvis and the Beatles with an XXX rating in the 50's and 60's, both are now harmless by today's standards"

(Brian Korbain)

Condemn before they understand

Censorship is out of hand

Quick to judge and slow to learn

Afraid to let the wheels turn

Look to the past

Your superstitions didn't last

and all your words

They seem so foolish now

[Pre-Chorus]:

The screams never heard

Their dreams are never understood

[Chorus]:

The circle will never change

The circle will never change

Unheard of then

Accepted now

and all you hypocrites

Have forgotten youth somehow

Are we really so different from yesterday

The more we know the more that we portray

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]:

Denounced by society

And its foolish hypocrisy

Why must you be so naive

Shut out things, see what you want to see

Your lawsuits with intent to maim

are useless scapegoats to shift the blame

You close your mind

It's the blind leading the blind

What does freedom mean?

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
