Lyrics
Mad World
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.
Feel the smoke in the air
There's a flash
Of lightning and despair
But no one cares
Broken glass
Turned to sand
Every road we built to promised lands
They lead nowhere
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
When you're on your own
Who do you trust?
Trust your enemies
Worship the weak
We'll be okay
Shoot before you think
Take everything
It's a mad mad mad mad world
It's a dream, it's a lie
It's a matter of fact
No more questions allowed
No more pushing back
Double think if you like
If it helps you survive
There's no doubt in our minds
'Til we open our eyes
Do we care
When there is so much fear in the air
We feel it
We breath it everywhere
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
When you're on your own
Who do you trust?
Trust your enemies
Worship the weak
We'll be okay
Shoot before you think
Take everything
It's a mad mad mad mad world
World, world, world, world
World, world, world, world, world
Trust your enemies
Worship the weak
We'll be okay
Shoot before you think
Take everything
Trust your enemies
Worship the weak
We'll be okay
Shoot before you think
Take everything
It's a mad mad mad mad world
