"Mad World" lyrics

You hold on to the drum but you're missing the beat
Love keeps you grounded like it's chained to your feet
Point at the heart and the heart's moving on
Try to name what you feel and the feeling is gone

It's a mad mad world if you want to get it on
It's a mad mad world if you want to get it on

I'm wondering which man she wants love to deliver
A banker or a lawyer or a more successful singer
I paid the musicians so they kept playing on
When I made a decision the choice was gone

It's a mad mad world if you want to get it on
It's a mad mad world if you want to get it on
It's a mad mad world if you want to get it on
It's a mad mad world if you want to get it on

You giggle at a funeral like there's something I don't get
Maybe I'm just shallow cause yes I do have to admit
Mostly I love you for that body you've got
But when I try to change the order your body resists a lot

You have a god to forgive you it's a privilege you have
You have a book that starts with a bret easton ellis autograph
Bottles to empty and prescriptions to fill
And if no god will forgive you baby you know I will

It's a mad mad world if you want to get it on
It's a mad mad world if you want to get it on
It's a mad mad world if you want to get it on
It's a mad mad world if you want to get it on
Ah

Lalalala lala lala
Lalalala lala lala
Lalalala lala lala
Lalalala lala lala
I get it on

Lalalala lala lala
Get it on
Lalalala lala lala
Get it on
Lalalala lala lala
Get it on
Lalalala lala lala

Lalalala lala lala
Get it on
Lalalala lala lala
Get it on
Lalalala lala lala
Get in on
Lalalala lala lala
Get in on
Lalalala lala lala
Get it on
Lalalala lala lala
Get it on
Lalalala lala lala
Get it on
Lalalala lala lala
Get it on
