Mad World (Promo Version)

[sample:]

All around me are familiar faces

Warn out places, warn out faces

Bright and early for the daily races

Going nowhere, going nowhere

[Doc Brown:]

Doc Brown, it's a disgrace, this place is like a whore house

The crooked systems the pimp that got us workin' 'til me worn out

Storm clouds so it's dark when I wake up

Same street, same run for the same bus

Same tramp with his change cup

But many pennies and tens and twenty's ain't gonna change his day up

This train sucks blood, you look familiar

Why do I know them tired eyes from somewhere in particular

Wait, nah it was yesterday

You shoved me in the chest just to race to the top of the escelate

So all we rats comin' back for more

Happy to carry the wait 'til our backs are sore

Trapped in the system of capitalism

That got us thinkin'that we have to take a shit job just to get a quick buck

Why not live the life that you want?

When your dreams too big to fit in that Burger King uniform

Forgot what humanity showed us

Now we walk around like robots 'til we go nuts

What strangers, we all creative

'Til age six then we start hearin' the same shit

From police, parents, teachers, television

Take them first steps towards a mental prison

Then at the end of ya life you like "what! "

"I was doin' time but I weren't even behind bars"

Know what blood, it's a very very (mad world)

[Chorus: Doc Brown and Lowkey]

Maintain feel the weight on my brain (mad world)

It's still the same my brains achin' with pain (mad world)

This ain't life it just doesn't feel right (mad world)

My dreams ain't nice, can't sleep at night

[sample:]

Went to school and was very nervous

No one knew me, no one knew me

Hello teachers tell me what's my lesson

Looked right through me, looked right through me

[Lowkey:]

From the time I was a toddler, tiny and small

I grew into a little monster in primary school

Just another name on the list at registration

The teacher never listens so I lived in desperation

By Year 6, I was sick of education

Not to mention wantin' attention but I'd sit in hesitation

Scared to ask teachers questions

Cause I was quick to test their patience

Soon as I reached secondary, different heads were hatin'

To teachers I was already dead and buried, a product of the street's devistation

Aggy and fassies and fools and carryin' tools

Why, it's a weak explanation but I was never happy in school

Sufferin' from sleep deprivation

Teachers new my type, they saw it in me, never used eyesight

Most pretend they're blind when the older youths and new guys fight

Got sent around to the deputy heads

When the fat kid that grassed went back to sit in class

And dreamt about leavin' all my enemies dead

Many tears where eventually shed

Up 'til now I didn't know what my memories meant

Many messed with me then, all the fights left my energy spent

Teachers need to fix up, this message is for everyone bUt especially them

Intelligent kids don't grow unless they mentally fed in this (mad world)

[Chorus 2: Lowkey and Doc Brown (sample)]

Life is cruel blood, I'm tired of school (mad world)

Your mind's a tool, don't play by the rules (mad world)

That's the truth I've been trapped since youth (mad world)

My heart's bruised but I still won't lose (mad world)
