BEASTIE BOYS LYRICS - In A World Gone Mad

"In A World Gone Mad"



[CHORUS]

In a world gone mad it's hard to think right

So much violence hate and spite

Murder going on all day and night

Due time we fight the non-violent fight



Mirrors, smokescreens and lies

It's not the politicians but their actions I despise

You and Saddam should kick it like back in the day

With the cocaine and Courvoisier

But you build more bombs as you get more bold

As your mid-life crisis war unfolds

All you want to do is take control

Now put that axis of evil bullshit on hold

Citizen rule number 2080

Politicians are shady

So people watch your back 'cause I think they smoke crack

I don't doubt it look at how they act



[CHORUS]

In a world gone mad it's hard to think right

So much violence hate and spite

Murder going on all day and night

Due time we fight the non-violent fight



First the 'War On Terror' now war on Iraq

We're reaching a point where we can't turn back

Let's lose the guns and let's lose the bombs

And stop the corporate contributions that their built upon

Well I'll be sleeping on your speeches 'til I start to snore

'Cause I won't carry guns for an oil war

As-Salamu alaikum, wa alaikum assalam

Peace to the Middle East peace to Islam

Now don't get us wrong 'cause we love America

But that's no reason to get hysterica

They're layin' on the syrup thick

We ain't waffles we ain't havin' it



[CHORUS]

In a world gone mad it's hard to think right

So much violence hate and spite

Murder going on all day and night

Due time we fight the non-violent fight



Now how many people must get killed?

For oil families pockets to get filled?

How many oil families get killed?

Not a damn one so what's the deal?



It's time to lead the way and de-escalate

Lose the weapons of mass destruction and the hate

Say ooh ah what's the White House doin'?

Oh no! Say, what in tarnation have they got brewing?!

Well I'm not pro Bush and I'm not pro Saddam

We need these fools to remain calm

George Bush you're looking like Zoolander

Trying to play tough for the camera

What am I on crazy pills? We've got to stop it

Get your hand out my grandma's pocket

We need health care more than going to war

You think it's democracy they're fighting for?



[CHORUS]

In a world gone mad it's hard to think right

So much violence hate and spite

Murder going on all day and night

Due time we fight the non-violent fight
