Mad Mad World - Bonnie McKee

When I open my eyes for a moment I’m fine

Until I’m scrolling through the days headlines

Try to keep myself numb, turn the radio on

Hoping to shake it but it burned my mind

Wish that I could go somewhere the news is good

And throw away my phone

I, I don’t wanna look 'cause

I don’t wanna know

But I can’t ignore it now

Baby, if I’m being honest

I wish I could check out (don't do it)

I need a vacation (don't do it)

I just need a break right now

Get away, get away

From a cold and crazy world

I need a vacation

'Cause it’s a mad, mad world

Mad, mad

Mad, mad

'Cause it’s a mad, mad world

Do the best that I can, standing up to the man

Fighting the power tryna hold us down

Never give up the fight, rising up for what’s right

But I need to take a breath before I drown

Wish that I could go somewhere the news is good

And throw away my phone

I, I don’t wanna look 'cause

I don’t wanna know

But I can’t ignore it now

Baby, if I’m being honest

I wish I could check out (don't do it)

I need a vacation (don't do it)

I just need a break right now

Get away, get away

From a cold and crazy world

I need a vacation

'Cause it’s a mad, mad world

Mad, mad

Mad, mad

'Cause it’s a mad, mad world

Mad, mad

Mad, mad

Got me on my knees, got me on my knees

Don’t do it

I won’t let myself give up right now

Don’t do it

I get upon my feet, I get upon my feet

And get to it

Even though the world is upside down

I need a vacation (don't do it)

I just need a break right now

Get away, get away

From a cold and crazy world (cold and crazy world)

I need a vacation

'Cause it’s a mad, mad world

Mad, mad

Mad, mad

'Cause it’s a mad, mad world

Mad, mad

'Cause it’s a mad, mad world
