Mad World Lyrics


I can’t believe what I just saw, right before my eyes

Deja vu I know you’re feeling it too, like we’re in another life

Years past, the faces they change, the same mistakes get made

It’s disappointing that the lessons we learn get lost along the way

It’s a mad mad world we’re living in

It’s a mad mad world we’re living in

When time and place have meaning only if we can pretend

It’s not a mad mad world we’re living

As we add long years to our life, it seems we should mature

In many ways we’re no better off than the generation before

It’s not the nature of sin that’s changed, just the way it manifests

We cheat, lie, kill, steal like we’re destined to regress

Our history repeats a story rearranged

When everything seems different, but nothing real has changed
