Ricky Nelson - Mad Mad World lyrics

rate me

(Burnette)

Everybody's runnin' in a mad, mad world

But nobody's goin' nowhere

Everybody's gotta have more than the others

Gotta have more than their share.

Ever since the devil tempted woman with an apple

We've all had a burden to bare

Now the world keeps turnin' and things are gettin' faster

Nobody's goin' nowhere.

They say the grass is greener on the other side

When they cross over they find

Everybody's searchin' like you and me

Tryin' to find peace of mind.

See that little boy fishin' on the river

If I could just be like him

I'd close my eyes and let the mad world go by

If only I could be like him.

See that little boy fishin' on the river

If I could just be like him

I'd close my eyes and let the mad world go by

If only I could be like him.

I'd close my eyes and let the mad world go by

If only I could be like him...
