lyrics

Can’t you see, it’s mad if you ask me
Imagine if your younger self could see what you can see
Toe the line, get to work on time
And if you’re lucky you’ll keep warm enough to stay alive

Did you fall for what they call the sunlit uplands
Or did you call it out for what it was?
That was then and this is now and here we are
I’m not sure how we’re ever gonna get back home to us

And were you happy with the circus in town?
Did you find it all amusing?
And are you sad that they got rid of the clown?
Oh I hate to make it all sound so confusing

And is your life just as you want it to be?
Or did it all come tumbling down fast?
You never had much time for reality
Oh I hate to be so negative and downcast

Can’t you see it’s mad, if you ask me
I wonder if your future self will sense the irony
Where’s the hope? They gave us too much rope
And now we hang precariously above a slippery slope

Why did you put every ounce of trust in the
Outrageous and egregious things they said?
Then I hear them shout ‘We’re free!’
Well, not as far as I can see

It’s mad, it’s mad, if you ask me
