Mad World Songtext
Will we know what the meaning was
Or the people we moved by just being us?
'Cause the life that we have is moving so fast
And it wrestles us into dust
When you can't put your faith in the one you love
And you're challenged to believe there's someone above
Spend your life in a cage, pour your heart on a stage
Then you blink and all of it's gone
And I'm going where it hurts
Gonna make it work
In a mad, mad world
And I'll be here for what it's worth
We're gonna find that goal
In a mad, mad world
What is the meaning of anything?
I just need something good to believe in
Are we losing our minds in the presence of time
As we're hanging on by a strain?
Please, don't send in your cavalry
Maybe I just need you to believe in me
'Cause the life that we have is moving so fast
And it wrestles us to our knees
And I'm going where it hurts
Gonna make it work
In a mad, mad world
And I'll be here for what it's worth
We're gonna find that goal
In a mad, mad world
Somewhere now the ocean's making pearls
Someone's letting someone heal their soul
And someone's looking for someone to hold
In this mad, mad world
Mad, mad world
Mad, mad world
I'm going where it hurts
Gonna make it work
In a mad, mad world
And I'll be here for what it's worth
We're gonna find that goal
In a mad, mad world
Or the people we moved by just being us?
'Cause the life that we have is moving so fast
And it wrestles us into dust
When you can't put your faith in the one you love
And you're challenged to believe there's someone above
Spend your life in a cage, pour your heart on a stage
Then you blink and all of it's gone
And I'm going where it hurts
Gonna make it work
In a mad, mad world
And I'll be here for what it's worth
We're gonna find that goal
In a mad, mad world
What is the meaning of anything?
I just need something good to believe in
Are we losing our minds in the presence of time
As we're hanging on by a strain?
Please, don't send in your cavalry
Maybe I just need you to believe in me
'Cause the life that we have is moving so fast
And it wrestles us to our knees
And I'm going where it hurts
Gonna make it work
In a mad, mad world
And I'll be here for what it's worth
We're gonna find that goal
In a mad, mad world
Somewhere now the ocean's making pearls
Someone's letting someone heal their soul
And someone's looking for someone to hold
In this mad, mad world
Mad, mad world
Mad, mad world
I'm going where it hurts
Gonna make it work
In a mad, mad world
And I'll be here for what it's worth
We're gonna find that goal
In a mad, mad world
