Mad World


Headlining news everyday
Conflict in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan,
US relations strained with Pakistan
Famine in Africa once again,
children starving, suffering in pain

The nation’s leaders ...ready to blame,
look around ... hold your heads in shame

Economies on the brink of collapse
Greece, UK, US, Ireland a disease spreading far and wide, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Job losses, cost of living rises, homes lost,
company collapse surprises

The nation’s leaders ...ready to blame,
look around ... hold your heads in shame

Yet we still stoop further
Newspaper hacking, privacy invaded,
all for a scoop, easily persuaded
Brown in tears, Cameron in denial,
victims devastated by ultimate betrayal

The nation’s leaders ...ready to blame,
look around ... hold your heads in shame
