Certain leaders build their tools of death

Saying it's all to keep the peace

They're saying one thing doing another

Both sides of the scales of power

The deadly loads increase

Mad world we're living in a mad world

We're living in a mad mad mad mad mad world

As they sit down at the table

Trapping the media's narrow view

They prepare for their intervention

A military masadventure or two

People today ask fewer questions

Accepting the excuses on TV

As negotiations grab the attention

They repeat the lies

Until they sound like the truth

Mad world we're living in a mad world

We're living in a mad mad mad mad mad world
