Mad World Lyrics

[Intro]
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

[Verse 1]
Say, we livin' in a mad world
Look how much time they try to get us out
It must be a sad world
Everytime we do good, they come with a lot of doubt
God gave us life after all
Can't wait to tear down these fence and these negative walls
Some a rise, some a fall
They will never get it until it be thе final call

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep on fightin' war for money
Time and time again
Thеy destroy the bees and honey
It's a very, very

[Chorus]
(Mad, mad, mad, mad) Mad world
It's such a mad, mad world we are livin' in
(Mad, mad, mad, mad) Mad world
Is it di end or is it di beginning?
(Mad, mad, mad, mad) Mad world
It's such a mad, mad world we are livin' in
(Mad, mad, mad, mad) Mad world
Is it di end or is it di beginning?
[Verse 2]
Wish we could change dem mentality
I'm sure Mama Earth would be saved from the wrath of man
With all dem wars and brutality
Couldn't be di Father, it must be di devil's plan
And while the people a bawl
You take away their space and puttin' up your expensive mall
Your skyscraper so tall
But just like the tower of Babylon, it bound to fall

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep on fightin' war for money
Time and time again
They destroy the bees and honey
It's a very, very

[Chorus]
(Mad, mad, mad, mad) Mad world
It's such a mad, mad world we are livin' in
(Mad, mad, mad, mad) Mad world
Is it di end or is it di beginning?
(Mad, mad, mad, mad) Mad world
It's such a mad, mad world we are livin' in
(Mad, mad, mad, mad) Mad world
Is it di end or is it di beginning?
[Outro]
Is it di end or is it di beginning?
