This here is real life, it is not a cartoon
Where everybody and their damn moms will rob you
Ain't a place in the world where a guy could argue
With the cops and they wouldn't even try to harm you
Before one of these fools drops a bomb soon
I'll buy me a farm, make 'em start a commune
I stand and I look to the heavenly sky
And thank God for my land and my seventy wives
You better be crazy or you'll never survive
And you should never leave home, 'less you're ready to die

'Cause in a mad world, only the mad are sane
And the rest of us only use half our brains
They can't tame us and train us to act the same
To accept without question, and that's insane!

In a mad world, only the mad are sane
And the rest of us only use half our brains
They can't tame us and train us to act the same
To accept without question, and that's insane!

We always obess, when all we possess
These cards did not stop, thoughts leave the stress
A sudden sharp pain can start in your left arm
That will move on and constrate your chest
Don't expect me to try and live by your standards
I gotta look elsewhere to find the answers
There's only so many things I could manage
Working with the few options that I've been handed

'Cause in a mad world, only the mad are sane
And the rest of us only use half our brains
They can't tame us and train us to act the same
To accept without question, and that's insane!

In a mad world, only the mad are sane
And the rest of us only use half our brains
They can't tame us and train us to act the same
To accept without question, and that's insane!

No pill could save you from ill behavior
You're still gonna wanna go and kill your neighbor
They instill your fears when they fill your papers
With the bad news hoping those chills will shake it
I tried medication, even meditation
An extra dirty Martini's better tasting
They said "better face it kids, you'll never make it"
They told me my head's in way too many places

'Cause in a mad world, only the mad are sane
And the rest of us only use half our brains
They can't tame us and train us to act the same
To accept without question, and that's insane!

In a mad world, only the mad are sane
And the rest of us only use half our brains
They can't tame us and train us to act the same
To accept without question, and that's insane!
