Song Lyrics

He's always in three places
Spaces undefined
Heart is always racin'
For something he will never find
Eyes are black
Black and cold
His soul has been shaken
So shaken
I believe he knows
The sun could never reach him
The view looks like a bomb
The paradox is far away
His brain weighs at least a ton
His mind is so stressed out
Tryin' to be a 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

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

He doesn't care to listen
Not even to himself
He spent 4 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
He's always feeling 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 making him miserable
He never feels he's in control
He finds it hard to walk away
So all he ever does is stay drunk

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
So drunk
This world is drunk
And the people are mad

This world is drunk (this world is drunk)
And the people are mad
So, so very, so very
This world is drunk
And the people are mad
So mad
This world is drunk (so mad)
Ooh, this world is drunk
So mad
This world is drunk (so mad)
And the people are mad
This world is drunk
