Today I woke up
I sometimes do that
I switch on the TV
I sometimes do that too
I watch wars, drugs and sex, deaths
Winter Olympics
Jobless, homeless, lonely
Wealth statistics
Soaps filled with pipe dreams
This is the way life seems
Enjoyment or punishment?
No, this is entertainment!
I think I'm going mad
I think I'm going mad
I think I'm going mad
I think I'm going mad
Mad, mad, mad
Mad, mad, mad
Mad, mad, mad
Mad, mad, mad
Tonight I'll go to bed
I sometimes do that
I'll toss and I'll turn, see
I sometimes do that too
I'll think of all the things I've seen that
Make me feel ashamed to be
White, or even human
The poorhouse and funfairs
The unaware millionaires
The penniless still despair
The well-aware turn to prayer
And it all ends up a nightmare
I think I'm going mad
I think I'm going mad
I think I'm going mad
I think I'm going mad
Mad, mad, mad
Mad, mad, mad
I'm going mad
I'm going mad
