Lyrics
World Gone Mad
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So this is where we are
It's not where we had wanted to be
If half the world's gone mad
The other half just don't care you see
You don't wanna fuck with us
British 'till the very last
When it feels like the world's gone mad
And there's nothing you can do about it
No there's nothing you can do about it
When it feels like the world's gone mad
And there's nothing you can do about it
No there's nothing you can do about it
So tell me what's the news
And what is it you want me to see
We're lying to ourselves
And dancing by the light of the screen
You don't let 'em fuck with us
British 'till the very last
When it feels like the world's gone mad
And there's nothing you can do about it
No there's nothing you can do about it
When it feels like the world's gone mad
And there's nothing you can do about it
No there's nothing you can do about it
Another man holding a microphone
Tryin' to say something at all
Oh, finding himself on an empty road
Trying to choose which way to go
And so, you wanna make some money
You wanna make some money
So, you wanna be somebody
You wanna make some money
When it feels like the world's gone mad
And there's nothing you can do about it
No there's nothing you can do about it
When it feels like the world's gone mad
And there's nothing you can do about it
No there's nothing you can do about it
