World Gone Mad

World Gone Mad
©2009 Phil Gates


Verse
I listen to the news
Jobs lost, homes gone, Hard times lit the fuse
An everybody’s on the ropes
People trying hard, trying to figure out how to cope

Chorus
Well I want somebody
To tell me this won’t last
Cause I don’t want to live, in a world gone mad

Verse
But if I believe the press
Then I’m a puppet of the media mess oh NO!
Countries building atom bombs
Pirates and Terrorists, yet they tell us, to all “Stay Calm”

Chorus

Verse

I think there’s a better way
No lying down, nobody frowns, everybody gets their way
You really gotta show some heart
Stepping in, Stepping up, it’s called, doing your part

Chorus
