I’ve felt mad and manic now,
For quite a while,
But in a world that does nothing but baffle me,
I can only sit back and smile,
Life feels so strange and weird,
It’s a confusing time we live in,
And the maddest thing about it all,
Is it made more sense to me when I was locked in a loony bin,
Right now I feel like I’m Alice,
Living in wonderland,
Constantly sipping tea with the mad hatter,
With everything around me getting out of hand,
It’s like I’m on a trip of acid,
Quickly going out my mind,
Maybe the world has always been crazy,
And I’ve just been blind,
Everyone is running round like headless chickens,
Whilst also doped up on diazepam,
I just need some of what you’re on,
Not a sniff but the whole gram,
I mean like what the actual fuck,
Am the only one who is seeing this?
Pure hatred and insanity,
That is covered up with laughter and bliss,
Is the apocalypse coming?
Has Jesus shown his face?
Is this the beginning of the end?
For the much despised human race,
Is everyone just enthusiastically ignorant?
Or has the world started to go stupid,
The people who defend us and make sense of it all,
Seem to have all vanished or have been muted,
Are we living in a fake world?
Like we’re living in a real life Truman show,
We live a pauper’s life,
But believe we live in a château,
I don’t know if I’m just getting old,
And I’ve turned into a moaning old bastard,
But when I thought I had a grip on life,
There seems to be another set of rules to master,
I’m too fat and I ache too much,
To keep up with the current rat race,
So I’m just going to light up another cigarette,
Pour a drink and get shit faced,
In euphoric ignorance,
I’ll be dazed and confused,
I’m going to sit back and smile,
Whilst my mind recovers from being battered and bruised,
Soon I will be drunk,
Residing in Earths biggest nut house,
And in a few hours when the madness kicks in,
Finally, I’ll be like everybody else.
