We are all on a ship of fools Who make all the rules It's a mad, mad world Human zoo were living in Seems you just can't win It's a mad, mad world Big money men They got it all Think they own you body and soul Line 'em up against the wall See how far the mighty must fall Children starve while others feed On their own greed It's a mad, mad world Poverty, inequality How can it be? It's a mad, mad world Religion points to a better way Tells you that you've got to believe Jesus saves That's what they say While the devil laughs up his sleeve There are those with empty hearts Who try to drag you down Don't let them turn your head around Keep your feet on the ground
