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?
