Mad Mad World Lyrics

by Meat Loaf

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 TV screen
"A new world order is on its way," well, just pass the popcorn please

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e72365-meat_loaf~mad_mad_world_lyrics.html ]
You don't mean to tell me no one else is gonna get hurt
When there's folks at home who eat dog food and they can't afford a shirt

Sure find out real fast just who's a sitting duck
When it's a

(mad, mad world)—shake your hands and say good luck
(mad, mad world)—I cannot believe this stuff
(mad, mad world)—getting madder every day
(mad, mad world)—get involved and they'll blow you away

Sure find out real fast when you're a sitting duck
Well, 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 out loud?
Money doesn't talk and yet it sounds like a big machine
A voice on high says you reap what you sow, just keep your own nose clean

(mad, mad world)—shake your hands and say good luck
(mad, mad world)—I cannot believe this stuff
(mad, mad world)—getting madder every day
(mad, mad world)—get involved and they'll blow you away

Sure find out real fast just when you've had enough
Well, it's a mad, mad world
(mad mad world)

(mad, mad world)—shake your hands and say good luck
(mad, mad world)—I cannot believe this stuff
(mad, mad world)—getting madder every day
(mad, mad world)—get involved and they'll blow you away

Sure find out real fast when you're a sitting duck
That it's a mad, mad world
Well, it's a mad, mad worl
Well, it's a mad, mad world
Mad, mad world....
