Bonnie Mckee - Mad Mad World lyrics

[Verse 1] When I open my eyes for a moment I'm fine Until I'm scrolling through the days headlines Try to keep myself numb, turn the radio on Hoping to shake it but it burned my mind [Pre-Chorus] Wish that I could go somewhere the news is good And throw away my phone I, I don't wanna look 'cause I don't wanna know But I can't ignore it now Baby, if I'm being honest I wish I could check out (don't do it) [Chorus] I need a vacation (don't do it) I just need a break right now Get away, get away From a cold and crazy world I need a vacation 'Cause it's a mad, mad world [Refrain] Mad, mad Mad, mad 'Cause it's a mad, mad world [Verse 2] Do the best that I can, standing up to the man Fighting the power tryna hold us down Never give up the fight, rising up for what's right But I need to take a breath before I down [Pre-Chorus] Wish that I could go somewhere the news is good And throw away my phone I, I don't wanna look 'cause I don't wanna know But I can't ignore it now Baby, if I'm being honest I wish I could check out (don't do it) [Chorus] I need a vacation (don't do it) I just need a break right now Get away, get away From a cold and crazy world I need a vacation 'Cause it's a mad, mad world [Refrain] Mad, mad Mad, mad 'Cause it's a mad, mad world Mad, mad Mad, mad [Bridge] Got me on my knees, got me on my knees Don't do it I won't let myself give up right now Don't do it I get upon my feet, I get upon my feet And get to it Even though the world is upside down [Chorus] I need a vacation (don't do it) I just need a break right now Get away, get away From a cold and crazy world (cold and crazy world) I need a vacation 'Cause it's a mad, mad world [Refrain] Mad, mad Mad, mad 'Cause it's a mad, mad world Mad, mad 'Cause it's a mad, mad world
