|
I was standing with my paper there |
|
minding my own news |
|
For everything that someone said |
|
someone else had a different view |
|
I watched the whole thing there |
|
unfold upon my T.V. screen |
|
"A new World Order is on its way" |
|
Well pass the popcorn please |
|
You don't mean to tell me |
|
no one here is going to get hurt |
|
When there's folks at home who |
|
eat dog food they can't afford a shirt |
|
Sure find out real fast who's a sitting duck |
|
When it's a |
|
Mad mad world |
|
Shake your hands and say good luck. It's a . . . |
|
Mad mad world |
|
I cannot believe this stuff. It's a . . . |
|
Mad mad world |
|
Getting madder every day |
|
Mad mad world |
|
Get involved and they blow you away |
|
Sure find out real fast when you're a sitting duck |
|
That it's a mad mad world |
|
A little man sits up way high |
|
way up above the crowd |
|
Can you make them dance real fast |
|
Can you make them cheer real loud |
|
Money doesn't talk it swears |
|
It sounds like a big machine |
|
A voice on high says you reap what you sow |
|
Just keep your own nose clean |
|
More smoke fills up the air |
|
More toxins up the creek |
|
And that's when the cash it changes hands |
|
so we turn the other cheek |
|
Sure find out real fast just when you've |
|
had enough that it's a |
|
Chorus |
|
He walks into the office and |
|
he finds a big pink slip |
|
It says "You are no longer needed here |
|
so take a good long trip." |
|
You can take your gold watch and |
|
stick it you know where |
|
cause he's fired up and he's jacked up and |
|
he's loaded up for bear |
|
Chorus |
