It's like the world's on fire
And nobody's tryin' to douse the flames
We're just standing in the middle the chaos
And I'm sick and f*ckin' tired of these games!
Chaos all around us, truth and trust are left behind
Politicians spinning stories, twisting facts to fuel divide
Claiming immigrants eat pets so that they can fan the fire
But I'm here screaming loud, burn the lies that they conspire!
Got kids that have no future 'cause the leaders never listen
They're too busy chasing power. They're all lost in their own mission
Judging based on skin color and who we choose to love
When deep down, we are all the same when push turns into shove
Mad world, everything's a game of deception
Mad world, livin' in a state of regression
Mad world, everybody pointin' their blame
Mad world, but ain't nobody changin' a thing
They got us hooked on screens, chasin' likes for validation
They don't care if you are lost. They profit off your desperation
Another school in lockdown. Parents cryin' in the street
And we're still talkin' rights while bodies line up in the heat.
Racists in their suits and the bigotry in tweets
While we stay numb and entertained, drowning in deceit
Social media warriors, claimin' courage from their screens
But when it comes time to stand up, they are nowhere to be seen
Mad world, everything's a game of deception
Mad world, livin' in a state of regression
Mad world, everybody pointin' their blame
Mad world, but ain't nobody changin' a thing
The world is like a circus with the clowns runnin' the show
While the real people suffer with no places left to go
Politicians promise change and then they profit from our pain
I'm done with empty promises, and all this endless blame
We've got kids out shootin' kids because they are taught to hate
Got walls between us all, only widening the gate!
Hear gunshots in the night, mothers cryin' out at dawn
But they still argue rights, is their f*ckin conscience gone?!
Yo, the earth is burnin' up, they say it's all a scam
Distractions from the truth while they execute their plan.
I'm not about the silence, I'm about to break the chains
Because if we don't rise up now, we'll be lost in the remains!
Mad world, everything's a game of deception
Mad world, livin' in a state of regression
Mad world, everybody pointin' their blame
Mad world, but ain't nobody changin' a thing
We're navigating bigotry, our backs against the wall
The change will only happen when we're able to stand tall
It's hard to see the light when the dark's so f*ckin loud
Break through all their bullshit...it's time to wake up now!
