Woke up to the news, same story, new day
Chaos in the air, got the sky turnin' gray
Money rules the game, and the people just pawns
Politicians play while the city's in a storm
Clickbait headlines, truth gets buried
Fear in they eyes, but they actin' like they ready
Talk about peace, but they profit off war
Another lost soul, just a name on a board
Mad world, I can feel it in my bones
People turn cold, hearts made of stone
Tryna find light, but the dark too strong
I been holdin' on, I been holdin' on
Mad world, everybody playin' roles
Chasin' that gold, but they sellin' they soul
Tryna find truth, but the lies too bold
I been holdin' on, I been holdin' on
Screens feed the mind, but the poison still drip
Scrollin' through the madness, wonder if it's all a script
Talkin' 'bout unity, but lines stay drawn
Rich get richer, poor barely hold on
System got cracks, but they patch it with fear
History repeat like it's stuck in a sphere
Pray for some change, but the cycle don't break
They sellin' us dreams, but they easy to fake, Mad world
Mad world, I can feel it in my bones
People turn cold, hearts made of stone
Tryna find light, but the dark too strong
I been holdin' on, I been holdin' on
Mad world, everybody playin' roles
Chasin' that gold, but they sellin' they soul
Tryna find truth, but the lies too bold
I been holdin' on, I been holdin' on
Smoke in the sky, but they say it's all fine
Water turnin' poison, fish floatin' in the tide
They censor what we see, but the cracks still show
If silence is golden, then the world stay broke
Kids growin' up with a screen in they hand
Raised by machines, they don't need no plans
Love gettin' lost in the noise and the static
Heartbeats fade in a world so tragic
Mad world, I can feel it in my bones
People turn cold, hearts made of stone
Tryna find light, but the dark too strong
I been holdin' on, I been holdin' on
Mad world, everybody playin' roles
Chasin' that gold, but they sellin' they soul
Tryna find truth, but the lies too bold
I been holdin' on, I been holdin' on
Mad world!
We be living in a mad world
We be living in a mad world
We be living in a mad world
And I'm tryna to hold on
Mad world!
We be living in a mad world
We be living in a mad world
We be living in a mad world
And I'm tryna to hold on
