[INTRO - Methodical Laugh Fade In] (low, slow... with Carnival circus music) Heh... heh heh... heheh... HAHAHA (echo, then beat drops) Yeah... Yeah... [HOOK] It's a mad, mad world, people losin' their minds, Livin' lies, one line at a time, Truth right in front of 'em, but they cannot see, Blinded by fear, greed, stupidity. Do the same thing over, pray for a different result, That's insanity, man, that's the cult, Mad, mad world, what cost? What cost? Souls gettin' sold, then the soul get lost. [VERSE 1] It's a mad, mad world, circus with no tent, We the clowns and the crowd and we payin' the rent, Scrollin' for a savior on a broken screen, Lookin' for the light but we killin' the dream. Hamsters on a wheel, think we runnin' the block, Same poison, different bottle, same key, different lock, They sell you the fear, then sell you the cure, Got us drinkin' from a cup that was never pure. Power is the drug, control is the chain, They profit off the struggle, get rich off the pain, Pawns on a board and we movin' the same, Checkmate comin' quick but we lovin' the game. [HOOK] It's a mad, mad world, people losin' their minds, Livin' lies, one line at a time, Truth right in front of 'em, but they cannot see, Blinded by fear, greed, stupidity. Do the same thing over, pray for a different result, That's insanity, man, that's the cult, Mad, mad world, what cost? What cost? Souls gettin' sold, then the soul get lost. [VERSE 2] Yeah, analogy - dog chasin' its own tail, Snake eatin' its head, thinkin' that it won't fail, Buildin' bigger prisons call it freedom homes, Disconnected world but we glued to phones. They dumbed us down, numbed us down, fed us crumbs, We waitin' on a hero while the kingdom comes, Lookin' to the sky when the power in the chest, Be the light they prayin' for, forget the rest. We beg for change but we never change up, Wanna clean cup but we never drank up, Same fire every time that we never put out, Screamin' bout the answer with our mouths sewed shut. [HOOK - heavier] It's a mad, mad world, people losin' their minds, Livin' lies, one line at a time, Truth right in front of 'em, but they cannot see, Blinded by fear, greed, stupidity. Do the same thing over, pray for a different result, That's insanity, man, that's the cult, Mad, mad world, what cost? What cost? Souls gettin' sold, then the soul get lost. [VERSE 3 - The Call] Yo, stand up, wake up, show up, be the change, Break the spell, break the cell, re-arrange, They want you small, want you scared, want you tame, Same cage, different name, same game. You ain't a sheep, you a lion with a muzzle on, Puzzle wrong, hustle long for a buzz that’s gone, The savior that you waitin' on is starin' in the mirror, The voice you scared to hear is gettin' clearer and clearer. No more waitin', no more prayin' with your eyes closed, Time to rise, time to fight, time to expose, Mad, mad world, but we can flip the script, Light that match, let it burn, let it rip. [OUTRO - Breakdown & Laugh with Carnival circus music] It's a mad... mad... world... Simply maddening... maddening... How much more can you take? How much more will you take? Heh... heh heh... HAHAHAHA... (beat cuts, laugh echoes into silence)
