Missy Higgins - World Gone Mad lyrics

rate me

Standing on the roof my daddy built

Looking at the rising of the silt

Everything I ever loved is underneath

But what the river wants the river keeps

I used to believe in fortune and that in the hands of god

Everybody gets no more than they deserve

But the more I see the less I understand

Watching as the water swallows the land

I'm starting to believe there was never a plan

And that the world's gone mad

Something's out of order, out of place

Nothing we were taught is happening today

If you are the maker watching down

What a mess you're making of this town

I used to believe in fate and the wheel of karma

I used to believe in the way the penny dropped

But the more I see the less I understand

Watching as the water swallows the land

I'm starting to believe there was never a plan

And that the world's gone mad

And I will not bleed

I will not bleed

No, I will not bleed

'Til the water takes me

'Cause the more I see the less I understand

Watching as the water swallows my land

I'm starting to believe there was never a plan

And that the world's gone

The more I see the less I understand

Watching as the water swallows the land

I'm starting to believe there was never a plan

And that the world's gone mad
