Tom Cochrane Lyrics for Song: Mad Mad World
 Lyrics for Album: Mad Mad World [1992]
 
 
 
 32440>I was standing with my paper there
 
 minding my own news
 
 For everything that someone said
 
 someone else had a different view
 
 I watched the whole thing there
 
 unfold upon my T.V. screen
 
 "A new World Order is on its way"
 
 Well pass the popcorn please
 
 You don't mean to tell me
 
 no one here is going to get hurt
 
 When there's folks at home who
 
 eat dog food they can't afford a shirt
 
 Sure find out real fast who's a sitting duck
 
 When it's a
 
 
 
 Mad mad world
 
 Shake your hands and say good luck. It's a . . .
 
 Mad mad world
 
 I cannot believe this stuff. It's a . . .
 
 Mad mad world
 
 Getting madder every day
 
 Mad mad world
 
 Get involved and they blow you away
 
 Sure find out real fast when you're a sitting duck
 
 That it's a mad mad world
 
 
 
 A little man sits up way high
 
 way up above the crowd
 
 Can you make them dance real fast
 
 Can you make them cheer real loud
 
 
 
 Money doesn't talk it swears
 
 It sounds like a big machine
 
 A voice on high says you reap what you sow
 
 Just keep your own nose clean
 
 
 
 More smoke fills up the air
 
 More toxins up the creek
 
 And that's when the cash it changes hands
 
 so we turn the other cheek
 
 Sure find out real fast just when you've
 
 had enough that it's a
 
 
 
 Chorus
 
 
 
 He walks into the office and
 
 he finds a big pink slip
 
 It says "You are no longer needed here
 
 so take a good long trip."
 
 You can take your gold watch and
 
 stick it you know where
 
 cause he's fired up and he's jacked up and
 
 he's loaded up for bear
 
 
 
 Chorus
