Lowkey - Mad World (promo Version) lyrics

[sample] All around me are familiar faces Warn out places, warn out faces Bright and early for the daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere [Doc Brown] Doc Brown, it's a disgrace, this place is like a who*e house The crooked systems the pimp that got us workin' 'til me worn out Storm clouds so it's dark when I wake up Same street, same run for the same bus Same tramp with his change cup But many pennies and tens and twenty's ain't gonna change his day up This train s**s blood, you look familiar Why do I know them tired eyes from somewhere in particular Wait, nah it was yesterday You shoved me in the chest just to race to the top of the escalate So all we rats comin' back for more Happy to carry the wait 'til our backs are sore Trapped in the system of capitalism That got us thinkin that we have to take a sh** job just to get a quick buck Why not live the life that you want? When your dreams too big to fit in that Burger King uniform Forgot what humanity showed us Now we walk around like robots 'til we go nuts What strangers, we all creative 'Til age six then we start hearin' the same sh** From police, parents, teachers, television Take them first steps towards a mental prison Then at the end of ya life you like "what! " "I was doin' time but I weren't even behind bars" Know what blood, it's a very very (mad world) [Chorus: Doc Brown and Lowkey] Maintain feel the weight on my brain (mad world) It's still the same my brains achin' with pain (mad world) This ain't life it just doesn't feel right (mad world) My dreams ain't nice, can't sleep at night [sample] Went to school and was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teachers tell me what's my lesson Looked right through me, looked right through me [Lowkey] From the time I was a toddler, tiny and small I grew into a little monster in primary school Just another name on the list at registration The teacher never listens so I lived in desperation By Year 6, I was sick of education Not to mention wantin' attention but I'd sit in hesitation Scared to ask teachers questions Cause I was quick to test their patience Soon as I reached secondary, different heads were hatin' To teachers I was already dead and buried, a product of the street's devistation Aggy and fa**ies and fools and carryin' tools Why, it's a weak explanation but I was never happy in school Sufferin' from sleep deprivation Teachers new my type, they saw it in me, never used eyesight Most pretend they're blind when the older youths and new guys fight Got sent around to the deputy heads When the fat kid that gra**ed went back to sit in cla** And dreamt about leavin' all my enemies dead Many tears where eventually shed Up 'til now I didn't know what my memories meant Many messed with me then, all the fights left my energy spent Teachers need to fix up, this message is for everyone bUt especially them Intelligent kids don't grow unless they mentally fed in this (mad world) [Chorus 2: Lowkey and Doc Brown (sample)] Life is cruel blood, I'm tired of school (mad world) Your mind's a tool, don't play by the rules (mad world) That's the truth I've been trapped since youth (mad world) My heart's bruised but I still won't lose (mad world)
