Simple Equation - Madness

Oh it’s a simple equation of good versus bad

The terror of knowing all that we’ve had

Has to be paid for in the long run

Books balanced justice seen to be done

Oh yes conscience and all of that stuff

We’ll sort that out later you’ve time enough

Right now you must realise that not much is fair

When you hunt with the hounds now you run with the hare

Without low there’d be no high

If nothing fell there’d be no sky

Without far there is no near

The days that separate the night

The shadows by which we’ll recognise the light

Yes its the simple equation of black and white

The mathematical film of wrong minus right

The calculation of good over bad

Ever feel like you’ve been had

'Cos with no love there is no high

If nothing falls there’d be no sky

Without far there is no near

The days that separate the night

It’s the shadows by which we’ll recognise the light

'Cos of course you know you ask anyone

We’re in our own relative reality

All things must have their opposite

To know anything is to know it by a contrast

With something that it is not

Without far there is no near

It’s the days that separate the night

It’s the shadows by which we’ll recognise the light

It’s the days that separate the night

It’s the shadows by which we’ll recognise the light

Oh it’s the days that separate the night

It’s the shadows by which we’ll recognise the light

The days that separate the night

And the shadows by which we recognise the light

Goodnight
