Well a sad little boy sat on a soapbox in Market Square
He'd given words for free to all the people there.
And though the song is the same, doesn't matter who plays, it's alright
The paper said we'll win this war overnight.

We were singing
Step right up for a colurful revolution

Now a bridge is the word for the war getting underway
But you can't if you won't, and you could, but you dont want to stay
And the American mind in its prime has got nothing to say
But it's your American right to throw your vote away

And we be singin'
Step right up for a colorful revoultion
Step right up
Its the sound of the institution

Oh no no words you know, you know nothing today (hey)
But when it comes to get you, then what will you say?
I wish the night was young
(yeah - honky tonk)

(you got it boy)

And now the national defense is up in arms and out of cnotrol
But since the market is good, the people said let it roll
And though the song is the same, doesn't matter who plays, it's alright
We can win this little war overnight

We be singing
Step right up
Start a colorful revolution
Everybody's got to
Step right up
Its the sound of the institution

Step right up for a colorful revolution
