I get the feeling it was different here
Before we came along

Another young man murdered on my TV there
Seems so far from my comfy chair
The world isn´t good the world ain´t bad
The world ain´t happy and the world ain´t sad
The thing about the world is it´s gone mad

(The thing about the world is...)

I get the feeling it was different here
Before we came along
Everybody´s talking ´bout the good old days
How could they all be wrong?

The thing about the world is it´s gone mad
Only world that we´ve ever had
The only world that we can use
It´s big and round and it´s got the blues
(The thing about the world is...)
The world isn´t good the world ain´t bad
The world ain´t happy, the world ain´t sad
The thing about the world is it´s gone mad

(The thing about the world is...)

I get the feeling it was different here
Before we came along
Everybody´s talking ´bout the good old days
How could they all be wrong?

In a world gone mad...

Business man sittin´ on a big empire
Only took one day to set Rome on fire
Food on the table in the lucky cases
Sweet expressions on the children´s faces
(The thing about the world is...)
The world isn´t good the world ain´t bad
The world ain´t happy and the world ain´t sad
The thing about the world is it´s gone mad

(The thing about the world is...)

I get the feeling it was different here
Before we came along
Everybody´s talking ´bout the good old days
How could they all be wrong?...
