They prepare for their intervention
People today ask fewer questions
As negotiations grab the attention
Mad world, we're living in a mad world
[Incomprehensible] down at the table

Both sides have the power, the loads increase
Accepting the excuses on TV
We're living in a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world

We're living in a mad world, mad world
They're doing one thing saying another
[Incomprehensible] or two
Trapping the media's narrow view
Mad world, we're living in a mad world

They repeat the lies until they sound like the truth
Mad world, we're living in a mad world
Living in a mad, mad, mad, mad world
Mad world
