I get the feeling it was different here
Before we came along
Another young man murdered on the TV there
It 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, 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
The 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, 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, in a world gone mad
In a world gone mad, in a world gone mad
In a world gone mad

Business man sittin' on a big empire
Only took one day to set a 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, 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?

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