See the wheel turning round
See the wheel turning round
See the mad parade of clowns
Shouting all the others down
Too much lager and juke-box sound
Too much lager and juke-box joviality
Stop the wheel turning round
What are we going to do?
Won't someone tell us what to do
What are we going to do?
Baah! Baah!
See the wheel turning round
Stop the wheel turning round
Stop this mad parade of clowns
Shouting all the others down
Balloons are bursting all around
Celebrities turn on the crowds
Stop the wheel turning round
Stop the wheel turning round
Like a carrot before the donkey
Lead them to a better world
Well I don't believe in you
Or your world
Like a carrot before the donkey
Lead them to a better world
Well I don't believe in you
What are we going to do
Won't someone tell us what to do
Who do we turn to
Won't someone tell us what to do
What are we going to do
Someone tell us what to do
What are we going to do
Someone to turn to
Someone to turn to
To rule us yeah
Someone to take our problems to
Someone to rule us yeah
Make my life as easy as you can
baah!
Alternative Lyrics from Marks songbook (Dearest dead days):
See the wheel turning round
See the wheel turning round
See the mad parade of clowns
Shouting all the others down
Too much lager and juke-box sound
Too much lager and juke-box joviality
Stop the wheel turning round
What are we going to do?
Won't someone tell us what to do
What are we going to do?
Baah! Baah!
See the wheel turning round
Stop the wheel turning round
Stop this mad parade of clowns
Shouting all the others down
Balloons are bursting all around
Celebrities turn on the crowds
Stop the wheel turning round
Stop the wheel turning round
Like a carrot before the donkey
Lead them to a better world
Well I don't believe in you
Or your world
Like a carrot before the donkey
Lead them to a better world
Well I don't believe in you
What are we going to do
Won't someone tell us what to do
Who do we turn to
Won't someone tell us what to do
What are we going to do
Someone tell us what to do
What are we going to do
Someone to turn to
Someone to turn to
To rule us yeah
Someone to take our problems to
Someone to rule us yeah
Make my life as easy as you can
Baah!
