I get the feeling it was different here

Before we came along



Another young man murdered on my TV there

Seems so far from my comfy chair

The world isn't good the world ain't bad

The world ain't happy and the world ain't sad

The thing about the world is it's gone mad



(The thing about the world is...)



I get the feeling it was different here

Before we came along

Everybody's talking 'bout the good old days

How could they all be wrong?



The thing about the world is it's gone mad

Only world that we've ever had

The only world that we can use

It's big and round and it's got the blues

(The thing about the world is...)

The world isn't good the world ain't bad

The world ain't happy, the world ain't sad

The thing about the world is it's gone mad



(The thing about the world is...)



I get the feeling it was different here

Before we came along

Everybody's talking 'bout the good old days

How could they all be wrong?



In a world gone mad...



Business man sittin' on a big empire

Only took one day to set Rome on fire

Food on the table in the lucky cases

Sweet expressions on the children's faces

(The thing about the world is...)

The world isn't good the world ain't bad

The world ain't happy and the world ain't sad

The thing about the world is it's gone mad



(The thing about the world is...)



I get the feeling it was different here

Before we came along

Everybody's talking 'bout the good old days

How could they all be wrong?..
