Mad Mad World

A little bit more attitude?

Teenage years are full of complications

You go to school to get an education

Never realizin that there's a limitation

If you don't get a job or a fresh occupation

With your parents there's no communication

You feel a lotta fear, a lotta frustration

That's not a kid, that's my little brother

Death is walkin the nation, takin boys and girls

And all i say to myself is it's a mad, mad world

It's a mad, mad world, whether poor or rich

Because you're livin with the problems that you're tryin to ditch

I mean your daughter is a addict, your husband has left

You have to pay for the bills of your ( ? ) death

Mentally abused, day in and day out

Your stress point fills up, you're ready to s
