"Madness" lyrics

"Madness"

Hey hey hey hey hey

Well my neighbor came in screaming
When a murder down the hall?
They cut him for his ring and watch
And now listen daddy-o
They were put away for stabbing
Other people in their sleep
Don't it make you wonder
What they're doing out in the street?

We got madness, yes we do
Floating everywhere today
We got madness, hey
When's it going to go away

Well the world is one big junkie
And it always needs a fix
Everybody's hustling someone
Trying to get their kicks
People starving, people hating
And the people who don't care
See this boundary? step across
I'll kill ya, if ya dare

We got madness, hey
Floating everywhere today
We got madness, ahhh
When's it going to go away

There's a sunset in the making
It may happen suddenly
There may not be a sunrise for your
Children's child to see
If we keep up with this taking out
And never putting back in
The world may soon be played itself
And where will we be then?

We got madness, yes we do
Floating everywhere today
We got madness, hey
When's it going to go away
