[Intro]
\nRound and round we go
\nWhere we stop….
\nNobody can know
\n(Pop!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nHate to burst your bubble
\nBut your logic’s in trouble
\nYou’re repeating yourself
\n(You’re repeating yourself)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nRound and round we go
\nWhere we stop….
\nNobody can know
\n(Pop!)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nPop goes the weasel
\n(Running round and round)
\nCausing an upheaval
\n(Running down… logic, nowhere to be found)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nWill it come as a surprise
\nWhen you realize the lies
\nYou’re repeating yourself
\n(You’re depleting yourself)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nRound and round we go
\nWhere we stop….
\nNobody can know
\n(Pop!)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nPop goes the weasel
\n(Running round and round)
\nCausing an upheaval
\n(Running down… logic, nowhere to be found)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nRound and round we go
\nWhere we stop….
\nNobody can know
\n(Pop!)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nRound and round we go
\nWhere we stop….
\nNobody does know
\n(Oh, woe O O)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nA circular argument, also known as circular reasoning, is a logical fallacy where the conclusion of an argument is used as a premise, effectively saying, “This is true because it is.” Instead of providing independent evidence to support the claim, the argument merely restates the conclusion in different terms, leading to a loop that fails to prove anything beyond its initial assertion.<\/p>\n
