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 down

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
