World Gone Mad

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I used to believe in fortune And that in the hands of God Everybody gets no more than They deserve [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I used to believe in fate And the wheel of Karma I used to believe in the way The penny drops [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] And I will not leave I will not leave No I will not leave Still the water takes me [Chorus] 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 my land I’m starting to believe there was never a plan And that the world’s gone mad
