Mad Mad World Songtext
von Bonnie McKee

When I open my eyes for a moment I′m fine
Until I'm scrolling through the day′s headlines
Tryna keep myself numb, turn the radio on
Hoping to shake it, but it burned my mind

Wish that I could go somewhere where the news is good
And throw away my phone
I, I, I don't wanna look, 'cause
I don′t wanna know
But I can′t ignore it now
Baby, if I'm being honest
I wish I could check out (don′t do it)

I need a vacation (don't do it)
I just need a break right now
Get away, get away
From a cold and crazy world
I need a vacation
′Cause it's a mad, mad world


Mad, mad
Mad, mad
′Cause it's a mad, mad world

Do the best that I can, standing up to the man
Fighting the power tryna hold us down
Never give up the fight, rising up for what's right
But I need to take a breath before I drown

Wish that I could go somewhere where the news is good
And throw away my phone
I, I don′t wanna look ′cause
I don't wanna know
But I can′t ignore it now
Baby, if I'm being honest
I wish I could check out (don′t do it)

I need a vacation (don't do it)
I just need a break right now
Get away, get away
From a cold and crazy world
I need a vacation
′Cause it's a mad, mad world


Mad, mad
Mad, mad
'Cause it′s a mad, mad world
Mad, mad
Mad, mad

Got me on my knees, got me on my knees
Don′t do it
I won't let myself give up right now
Don′t do it
I get upon my feet, I get upon my feet
And get to it
Even though the world is upside down

I need a vacation (don't do it)
I just need a break right now
Get away, get away
From a cold and crazy world (cold and crazy world)
I need a vacation
′Cause it's a mad, mad world

Mad, mad
Mad, mad
′Cause it's a mad, mad world
Mad, mad
'Cause it′s a mad, mad world
