Intoxication
It’s a mad mad world that we’re living in
 Gotta keep your heads up high, can’t be giving in
 Don’t you let one day go by without praising the most High
 ‘Cause it’s the only way we ever will survive 


 It’s a mad mad world that we’re living in
 (What’s wrong with us?)
 Gotta keep your heads up high, can’t be giving in
 Don’t you let one day go by without praising the most High
 ‘Cause it’s the only way we ever will survive 


 Rough life, nuff crime, youth them a do hard time
 No guides, no sign, walking on a thin like
 Sentenced, no trial, victim of a profile
 No hope, more fight, wonder why we’re hostile


 False prophet make profit, focused on them pocket
 White collar false docket, door open, can’t lock it
 Politics, polytricks, equal econometricks
 (Where is the justice?)


 Death toll rising, sex commercializing
 Barely surviving, future jeopardizing
 No compromising, hope paralyzing
 Rules need revising, why is it surprising?


 Got to heed the warning, see the storms are forming
 Not the time for stalling, look around it’s so appauling


 It's a mad mad world that we're living in
 Gotta keep your heads up high, can't be giving in
 Don't you let one day go by without praising the most High
 'Cause it's the only way we ever will survive


 It's a mad mad world that we're living in
 (Mad, crazy you know)
 Gotta keep your heads up high, can't be giving in
 Don't you let one day go by without praising the most High
 'Cause it's the only way we ever will survive


 Nuclear warfare, satellites everywhere
 Mothers on welfare, what about medicare?
 Ethnic cleansing, freedom pending
 Government spending, who are they defending?


 Bankrolls on poles, anything to enroll
 Spotlight's their goal, price paid their soul
 Step back, retrack, notice where your life's at
 (Where was it worth it?)


 Got to heed the warning, see the storm that's forming
 Not the time for stalling', look around it's so appauling'
 Poor is the mentality that disregard humanity
 Say no to this insanity, create a new reality


 It's a mad mad world that we're living in
 Gotta keep your heads up high, can't be giving in
 Don't you let one day go by without praising the most High
 'Cause it's the only way we ever will survive


 It's a mad mad world that we're living in
 Gotta keep your heads up high, can't be giving in
 Don't you let one day go by without praising the most High
 'Cause it's the only way we ever will survive


 Rough life, nuff crime, youth them a do hard time
 No guides, no sign, walking on a thin like
 Sentenced, no trial, victim of a profile
 No hope, more fight, wonder why we're hostile


 False prophet make profit, focused on them pocket
 White collar false docket, doors open can't lock it
 Politics, polytricks, equal econometricks
