In A World Gone Mad Lyrics

[CHORUS]

 In a world gone mad it's hard to think right

 So much violence hate and spite

 Murder going on all day and night

 Due time we fight the non-violent fight

 

 Mirrors, smokescreens and lies

 It's not the politicians but their actions I despise

 You and Saddam should kick it like back in the day

 With the cocaine and Courvoisier

 But you build more bombs as you get more bold

 As your mid-life crisis war unfolds

 All you want to do is take control

 Now put that axis of evil bullshit on hold

 Citizen rule number 2080

 Politicians are shady

 So people watch your back 'cause I think they smoke crack

 I don't doubt it look at how they act

 

 [CHORUS]

 In a world gone mad it's hard to think right

 So much violence hate and spite

 Murder going on all day and night

 Due time we fight the non-violent fight

 

 First the 'War On Terror' now war on Iraq

 We're reaching a point where we can't turn back

 Let's lose the guns and let's lose the bombs

 And stop the corporate contributions that their built upon

 Well I'll be sleeping on your speeches 'til I start to snore

 'Cause I won't carry guns for an oil war

 As-Salamu alaikum, wa alaikum assalam

 Peace to the Middle East peace to Islam

 Now don't get us wrong 'cause we love America

 But that's no reason to get hysterica

 They're layin' on the syrup thick

 We ain't waffles we ain't havin' it

 

 [CHORUS]

 In a world gone mad it's hard to think right

 So much violence hate and spite

 Murder going on all day and night

 Due time we fight the non-violent fight

 

 Now how many people must get killed?

 For oil families pockets to get filled?

 How many oil families get killed?

 Not a damn one so what's the deal?

 

 It's time to lead the way and de-escalate

 Lose the weapons of mass destruction and the hate

 Say ooh ah what's the White House doin'?

 Oh no! Say, what in tarnation have they got brewing?!

 Well I'm not pro Bush and I'm not pro Saddam

 We need these fools to remain calm

 George Bush you're looking like Zoolander

 Trying to play tough for the camera

 What am I on crazy pills? We've got to stop it

 Get your hand out my grandma's pocket

 We need health care more than going to war

 You think it's democracy they're fighting for?

 

 [CHORUS]

 In a world gone mad it's hard to think right

 So much violence hate and spite

 Murder going on all day and night

 Due time we fight the non-violent fight
