Lyrics:

Pretty girl of sixteen has fun and runs crazy
Ruined girl of sixteen, now a mother, grows lazy
Next, a sixteen-year-old baby, like mother, grows lazy
And her stomach is churning
Whilst her eyes keep on turning

'Round and around, 'round and around
Getting no higher from the ground
'Round and around, 'round and around
The circle has an empty sound

Father inflicts discipline, boy rebels against him
He leaves for the big town for love and adventure
But the words he first heard, unlike his instincts, run deeper
Now boy beats his children if they disobey him
And the cat riddled with worms chases his tail

'Round and around, 'round and around
Getting no higher from the ground
'Round and around, 'round and around
The circle has an empty sound

The endless full circle for the next in line
The endless full circle take the red line
The green line, the silver or blue
Any line you can think of except for the yellow
Take a trip with your family and see where they go
Give them a free ticket, it's the best thing to do
And if you wind up on the circle line
Hell, it's not from lack of options
Then, if you run into the yellow
Well, that's up to you

'Round and around, 'round and around
Getting no higher from the ground
'Round and around, 'round and around
The circle has an empty sound
The circle has an empty sound
'Round and around, 'round and around
'Round and around, 'round and around
'Round and around, 'round and around
'Round and around and around

The endless full circle for the next in line
The endless full circle, are you the next in line?
'Round and around and around and around
'Round and around and around and around
'Round and around and around and around and around
