|
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 tv 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 can not believe this stuff. . .it's a
|
Mad mad world...getting madder every day....
|
Mad mad world...get involved and they'll 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 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
|
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 when it's a...
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
He walks into the office and
|
He finds a big pink slip
|
It's 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
