"Mad World" lyrics - THE WINERY DOGS

Get on the bus
Go do the exercise
You'd better bite your tongue
So you sound the same
Go stand in the line
Put on a happy face
You gonna stay alive
Till life puts you away

[Pre-Chorus:]
You know you don't really know
I don't know really know much
We don't really know whats going on
So get off the bus and go make your own life
Singing's gonna make it all right

[Chorus:]
We live in a mad, mad world
Out on the run
We gotta help each other
Turn from a scar into a pearl
We've got the love
Living in a mad, mad world
It's a mad man's world

So get what you can
They've got you compromised
You wanna laugh and be dancing in the street
But you're being fined
You've got to sacrifice
They make mistakes and we're the ones who pay

[Pre-Chorus:]
You know I don't really know
You don't really know but
We can see that something's going on
So get off the bus and face it all right
We're gonna stand up

[Chorus:]
We live in a mad, mad world
Out on the run
We gotta help each other
Turn from a scar into a pearl
Yea we got the love
Living in a mad, mad world
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world

[Bridge:]
Open your eyes we're losing everything
The rocket will rise blast away my memories
I wanna leave it all to you but I've still got work to do
I'm still alive just for you
I know you feel the same

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus:]
We live in a mad, mad world
Out on the run, look over your shoulder!
Turn from a scar into a pearl
'Cuz we got the love
We live in a mad, mad world
Out on the run
Looking for what?
Turn from a scar into a pearl
We've got the love
While we're living in a mad, mad world
Madness
