One young man thinks he's up to the task.
But can I change this Earth, he dares to ask.
I just might be too honest to be so bold
Because the crazies will come out when you TAKE ON THE WORLD.

I accept the challenge, he declares.
But we won't undo this mess with just hopes and prayers.
If we put our heads together, we'll get it right.
Still, the crazies will come out when you TAKE ON THE WORLD.

And things heat up like fuel to fire,
Enough to make you come unhinged.
Then, you're beat up in brawls with liars,
And every dead end makes you cringe.
No one sees beyond their next return.
In the distance, getting nearer,

The party ends with crash and burn.

Heavy is his head lying in his hands.
Inside himself, he summons up the plans.
Sensing blood in the water, he's pulled and torn
Because the crazies will come out when you TAKE ON THE WORLD.

Anxious nation hangs on his every breath.
Big red wall stands firm in sudden death,
Smearing the truth, not even a hint of shame.
Yes, the crazies will come out when you TAKE ON THE WORLD.
The crazies will come out when you TAKE ON THE WORLD.

You TAKE ON THE WORLD
You TAKE ON THE WORLD
When you TAKE ON THE WORLD
