The circus is coming to see you, the elephant smiles
Everybody can hear you say that's out of style
My brother is friendly for reasons, if I am the same
Just for four hundred seasons, we all live in rain

So I laugh in your face, you're only one race
Yes I laugh in your face and I'm right
You lie just like the rest, but there's nobody best
So I laugh in your face and I'm right

I'll pull out your plug, so you're small
You'll slide down the drain
On the steps of St. Peter's
You all look the same

So I laugh in your face, you're only one race
Yes I laugh in your face and I'm right
You lie just like the rest, but there's nobody best
So I laugh in your face and I'm right

The circus is coming to see you, the elephant smiles
Everybody can hear you say that's out of style

So I laugh in your face, you're only one race
Yes I laugh in your face and I'm right
You lie just like the rest, but there's nobody best
So I laugh in your face and I'm right

Bee Gees

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
