Mad Mad World — текст песни (Tom Cochrane)

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
