World Gone Mad
Barry Marler
1990 Cabbage Flake Music (BMI)
Maybe we've lost our sight
Heard a little thing go bump in the night
Tears on the face of a fool
searching on the floor for a missing jewel
But the diamond has a flaw
I broke my fist when I punched the wall
Tell me one thing and just be truthful
All that matters is all our lives
Anything else would just be useful lies, they're lies
In a world gone mad, so mad
Simple simon will tell you so
It's sad, so sad
The king is lost in his velvet robe
Maybe we've lost our way
Speaking in tongues with nothing to say
The fool is at the feet of the king
Hoping for a clue, just the least little thing
But the king can't make a sound
He took a fall and he broke his crown
Tell me one thing and just be truthful
All that matters is all our lives
Anything else would just be useful lies, they're lies
In a world gone mad, so mad
Simple simon will tell you so
It's sad, so sad
The king is lost in his velvet robe
All the king's men
Pulling the pin
On a world gone mad, so mad
Simple simon will tell you so
It's sad, so sad
The king is lost in his velvet robe
Mad
Mad
Mad
Mad
