Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's always in three places, spaces undefined
Heart is always racin' for somethin' he will never find
Eyes are black, black and cold
His soul has been shaken, so shaken
I believe he knows
[Verse 2]
The sun could never reach him
The view looks like a bomb
The paradox is far away
His brain weighs at least a ton
[Verse 3]
His mind is so stressed out, tryin' to be king
When everyone around him sees the clown
And they're laughing at him
Look at this idiot, don't know he's been set up to fall
Can't find the truth in any friend
And all he ever does is want drugs
[Verse 4]
This world is drunk and the people are mad
This world is drunk and the people are mad
This world is drunk, ooh
This world is drunk and
This world is drunk and the people are mad
[Verse 5]
He doesn't get a listen, not even to himself
He spent four years away, was led astray
Convicted for fraud
He said he knows more now, now that he returned
The books that he read there told him he had gone too far
[Verse 6]
He's always feelin' left out and he always left his friends out
He never understood why that most of his friends are just bums
He's tryna live better now, he says he needs that family life
He can tell he wasted much time, winter time has taken his life
And makin' him miserable, he feels he's in control
He finds it hard to walk away, so all ever does is stray drunk
[Verse 7]
This world is drunk and the people are mad (So mad)
This world is drunk and the people are mad (So mad)
This world is drunk, ooh
This world is drunk, yeah (So drunk)
This world is drunk and the people are mad
[Verse 8]
This world is drunk and the people are mad (So, so very, so very drunk)
This world is drunk and the people are mad (So mad)
This world is drunk, ooh (So mad)
This world is drunk, yeah (So mad)
This world is drunk and the people are mad (So mad)
(This world is drunk)
