One sign says up, the other down, no matter which one that I take
End up runnin´ round and round, can´t find my way
And this frustration´s building up until I gotta say

It´s a mad mad world, it´s a mad mad world
So much confusion could be wrong, could be right
It´s a mad mad world, it´s a mad mad world
So much illusion could be dark, could be light

You make a plan, it don´t work out but then, you meet somebody else
Never even dreamed about, you feel a fool !
You´re always where you´re supposed to be and that´s the only rule

It´s a mad mad world, it´s a mad mad world
So much confusion could be wrong, could be right
It´s a mad mad world, it´s a mad mad world
So much illusion could be dark, could be light... Alright !

Want what you got, not what you don´t
Can´t make the train wants to go any faster
Than that old train wants to go, so take it slow
You´re gonna get there when you get there
THough you never know-no, you ever know

It´s a mad mad world, it´s a mad mad world
Too many choices being thrown left and right
It´s a mad mad world, it´s a mad mad world
Can´t hear through the noises, one voice in the night
It´s a mad mad world, it´s a mad mad world
So much confusion could be wrong, could be right
It´s a mad mad world, it´s a mad mad world
So much illusion could be dark, could be light
