Crazy World Lyrics

[Intro]

[Chorus]
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world

[Verse 1]
I get up in the morning for my dose of the news
Crawl right back in the sack, girl, had enough of the truth
Spend your dollars and rubels, buy a piece of the wall
Build it up in your backyard, I'm so sick of it all

[Chorus]
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world

[Verse 2]
Drivin' down to the city, doin' one fifty five
Better late than never, I'm more dead than alive
We can find the Titanic, put a man on the moon
But we can't fix our backyard, man, we better start soon

[Chorus]
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world
[Middle Eight]
I don't want to hear about it
I wish it would be worlds away
You know, the more I think about it
The more I feel we need to change

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
I get up (in a crazy, crazy world)
We all live (in a crazy, crazy world)
Ooh (it's a crazy, crazy world)
I gotta get out (of this crazy, crazy world)

[Verse 3]
Going home to my baby, it's been another hard day
Bust my balls for the tax man, so what else can I say?
They spent our money on missiles, for the third world war
Now they're stacked in my backyard, we don't need them no more

[Chorus]
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
