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
