lyrics

Surviving Day-To-Day In A World Gone Insane Is Crazy
Trying To Find Your Way Through A Dead-End Maze
Is Something Only A Fool Would Try
Did You Really Think We'd Buy Your Every Lie
While Your Billionaire Pals Drank The Barrel Dry
But Then I Realised We'd All Been Had

'Coz We're Living In This Bad Bad Mad Mad Bad-Ass World
We're All Living In A Mad Bad Bad Bad Mad Sad Bad-Ass World

Jack Did A Bad Thing When He Hit His Woman
"You Hurt Me, You Made Me Cry"
Now She's Just Another With Her Life Hanging On The Line
People On The Street, Nothing On Their Feet
While Parents Can't Afford To Buy Their Kids Enough To Eat
Living Nightmares Don't Come Worse Than This

'Coz We're Living In A Sad Bad Bad Mad Bad-Ass World
'Coz Baby Living In A Sad Sad Sad Sad Mad Mad Bad-Ass World
Baby, Baby Mine's A Sad Sad Sad Sad Mad Mad Bad-Ass World
Baby Living In A Sad Sad Mad World

Did Someone Say When We Were Young
That Things Are Fair And We're All Equal
Whoever Said That Is From Some Place I Just Don't Know

Mad People Spouting Blinding Delusion
From A Place Of Privilege That Is So Far From The Truth
We're All Existing In A World That's Night And Day Yeah, Yeah
Finding Something True That's Got A Meaning We Can All Believe In Yeah
Sadly This Seems A Million Miles Away ... Yeah-Hey

'Coz We're Living In A Sad Sad Bad Mad Bad Bad Bad-Ass World
'Coz Baby Living In A Sad Sad Sad Sad Mad Mad Bad-Ass World
Baby Baby Mine's A Sad Sad Sad Sad Mad Mad Bad-Ass World
Baby Living In A Mad, Sad, Bad World,
Yeah ... Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Well It's So Bad 'n' Mad 'n' Sad ...
