Words and music by John Kay and Michael Palmer I don't need your approval, I ain't lookin' for your vote I've been strugglin' just like you, tryin' to keep myself afloat You know your kind of trouble is just like mine Circles of Confusion everywhere you turn Shelter your illusion Hold onto your dreams or watch them burn I don't find it amusing, I ain't funny anymore To be runnin' in this race, with my feet nailed to the floor I got no time for jokes, no time for clowns Still there's another one each time I turn around Circles of Confusion everywhere you turn Shelter your illusion Hold on to your dreams or watch them burn I know you got your bruises from fighting with your pride I've been beaten down myself tryin' to keep my dream alive We got knocked down before, down for the count Still we're a long way off from being counted out Pockets of Resistance, scattered everywhere We can go the distance We can find the way to take us there I will not run and hide I shall ride the rising tide I will not be denied Circles of Confusion everywhere you turn Shelter your illusion, hold on to your dreams or watch them burn Pockets of resistance, scattered left and right We can go the distance We can find a way to win the fight ?‚?© 1983 Rambunctious Music ASCAP
