This here is real life, it is not a cartoon Where everybody and their damn moms will rob you Ain't a place in the world where a guy could argue With the cops and they wouldn't even try to harm you Before one of these fools drops a bomb soon I'll buy me a farm, make 'em start a commune I stand and I look to the heavenly sky And thank God for my land and my seventy wives You better be crazy or you'll never survive And you should never leave home, 'less you're ready to die 'Cause in a mad world, only the mad are sane And the rest of us only use half our brains They can't tame us and train us to act the same To accept without question, and that's insane! In a mad world, only the mad are sane And the rest of us only use half our brains They can't tame us and train us to act the same To accept without question, and that's insane! We always obess, when all we possess These cards did not stop, thoughts leave the stress A sudden sharp pain can start in your left arm That will move on and constrate your chest Don't expect me to try and live by your standards I gotta look elsewhere to find the answers There's only so many things I could manage Working with the few options that I've been handed 'Cause in a mad world, only the mad are sane And the rest of us only use half our brains They can't tame us and train us to act the same To accept without question, and that's insane! In a mad world, only the mad are sane And the rest of us only use half our brains They can't tame us and train us to act the same To accept without question, and that's insane! No pill could save you from ill behavior You're still gonna wanna go and kill your neighbor They instill your fears when they fill your papers With the bad news hoping those chills will shake it I tried medication, even meditation An extra dirty Martini's better tasting They said "better face it kids, you'll never make it" They told me my head's in way too many places 'Cause in a mad world, only the mad are sane And the rest of us only use half our brains They can't tame us and train us to act the same To accept without question, and that's insane! In a mad world, only the mad are sane And the rest of us only use half our brains They can't tame us and train us to act the same To accept without question, and that's insane!
