mad mad world

Bonnie Mckee

When I open my eyes for a moment I m fine
Until I m scrolling through the days headlines
Try to keep myself numb, turn the radio on
Hoping to shake it but it burned my mind

Wish that I could go somewhere the news is good
And throw away my phone
I, I don t wanna look cause
I don t wanna know
But I can t ignore it now
Baby, if I m being honest
I wish I could check out (don t do it)

I need a vacation (don t do it)
I just need a break right now
Get away, get away
From a cold and crazy world
I need a vacation
Cause it s a mad, mad world

Mad, mad
Mad, mad
Cause it s a mad, mad world

Do the best that I can, standing up to the man
Fighting the power tryna hold us down
Never give up the fight, rising up for what s right
But I need to take a breath before I down

Wish that I could go somewhere the news is good
And throw away my phone
I, I don t wanna look cause
I don t wanna know
But I can t ignore it now
Baby, if I m being honest
I wish I could check out (don t do it)

I need a vacation (don t do it)
I just need a break right now
Get away, get away
From a cold and crazy world
I need a vacation
Cause it s a mad, mad world

Mad, mad
Mad, mad
Cause it s a mad, mad world
Mad, mad
Mad, mad

Got me on my knees, got me on my knees
Don t do it
I won t let myself give up right now
Don t do it
I get upon my feet, I get upon my feet
And get to it
Even though the world is upside down

I need a vacation (don t do it)
I just need a break right now
Get away, get away
From a cold and crazy world (cold and crazy world)
I need a vacation
Cause it s a mad, mad world

Mad, mad
Mad, mad
Cause it s a mad, mad world
Mad, mad
Cause it s a mad, mad world
