[intro]
So, Käärijä, it´s a work day again
The highway is hot and we have a long way to go, so take a comfortable position and we´ll leave
Okay

[verse 1]
We wouldn´t be anything without bricklayers or cobblers
The world needs less circus clowns than breadwinners
More handymen with a long career than disposable memes, no shortage of you
And I don´t flex, I stay low-key, cos got no business making an everyday hero
Circus monkey got clout, cos he cooks dope
Even when in the real world

[bridge]
When I rock-rock the microphone
It doesn´t make a difference, they can flex
(They!)
Who do extra for the society
But I don´t flex, because the fact is that

[Chorus]
(is that, is that, is that, is that) I´m just a monkey in this traveling circus
(this circus)
And won´t change the world flapping my gums
That´s why I don´t have to flex (don´t have to) flex
I´m just a monkey in this traveling circus (this circus)
And I don´t flex, cos I don´t have any reason to flex
[verse 2]
Don´t have a reason to flex
Don´t use my weekend evenings tossing cash
And I can´t afford to flex when I spit soup
If I can´t reach a working man´s wage
And the monkey in the circus pulls all-nighters
On a gig without a shirt
On stage dares to party without a rich belly
Sometimes feels like you´re working as a tarmacer
But they at least get richer

[bridge]
When I rock-rock the microphone
It doesn´t make a difference, they can flex
(They!)
Who do extra for the society
But I don´t flex, because the fact is that

[Chorus]
(is that, is that, is that, is that) I´m just a monkey in this traveling circus
(this circus)
And won´t change the world flapping my gums
That´s why I don´t have to flex (don´t have to) flex
I´m just a monkey in this traveling circus (this circus)
And I don´t flex, cos I don´t have any reason to flex
[post-Chorus]
If you´re with me, bang those plates together
If you´re with me, bang those plates together

[bridge]
When I rock-rock the microphone
It doesn´t make a difference, they can flex
(They!)
Who do extra for the society
But I don´t flex, because the fact is that

[Chorus]
(is that, is that, is that, is that) I´m just a monkey in this traveling circus
(this circus)
And won´t change the world flapping my gums
That´s why I don´t have to flex (don´t have to) flex
I´m just a monkey in this traveling circus (this circus)
And I don´t flex, cos I don´t have any reason to flex

[outro]
I´m just a monkey in this...
Traveling circus (this circus)
And won´t change the world flapping my gums
That´s why I don´t have to flex
I´m just a monkey in this...
Traveling circus (this circus)
And I don´t flex, cos I don´t have any reason to flex
