All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Say, "We′re living in a Mad World"
Look how much times they try to get us out
It must be a sad world
Every time we go good, they come with a lot of doubt
God gave us life after all
Can't wait to tear down these fences and these negative walls
Some ah rise, some ah fall
They will never get it until it′ll be the final call
Keep on fighting war for money
Time and time again
They destroy the bees and honey
It's a very, very
(Mad, mad, mad), mad world
It's such a mad, mad world we are living in
(mad, mad, mad)
Mad world
Is it the end, or is it the beginning?
(Mad, mad, mad), mad world
It′s such a mad, mad world we are living in
(Mad, mad, mad), mad world
Is it the end, or is it the beginning?
(Beginning, beginning, beginning)
Wish we could change them mentality
I′m sure Mama Earth would be saved from the wrath of man
With all dem wars and brutality
Couldn't be the father, it must be the devil′s plan
And while the people a bawl
You take away their space and putting up your expensive mall
Your skyscraper, so tall
But just like the tower of Babylon it bound to fall
Keep on fighting war for money
Time and time again
They destroy the bees and honey
It's a very, very
(Mad, mad, mad), mad world
It′s such a mad, mad world we are living in
(mad, mad, mad)
Mad world
Is it the end, or is it the beginning?
(Mad, mad, mad), mad world
It's such a mad, mad world we are living in
(Mad, mad, mad), mad world
Is it the end, or is it the beginning?
(Beginning, beginning, beginning)
Is it the end, or is it the beginning?
