Mad, Mad World

One nation under God but where are we going?

We try to make the best of our lives not really knowing

That our own righeousness is but filthy rags

In the eyes of the Holy One

It's a state of the heart not the flag

It's a mad mad world we're living in

Making up our own rules

We make excuses for sin

It's a mad mad world we're living in

We tell ourselves that we're OK

It's what we do not how we play

That earns us our golden crown

That's the thing we all love to say

But our own righeousness is but filthy rags

In the eyes of the Holy One

It's a state of the heart not the flag
