This World is Drunk - Raphael Saadiq

He’s always in three places

Spaces undefined

Heart is always racin'

For something he will never find

Eyes are black

Black and cold

His soul has been shaken

So shaken

I believe he knows

The sun could never reach him

The view looks like a bomb

The paradox is far away

His brain weighs at least a ton

His mind is so stressed out

Tryin' to be a king

When everyone around him

Sees the clown and

They’re laughing at him

Look at this idiot

Don’t know he’s been set up to fall

Can’t find the truth in any friend

And all he ever does is want drugs

This world is drunk

And the people are mad

This world is drunk

And the people are mad

This world is drunk, ooh

This world is drunk and

This world is drunk and the people are mad

He doesn’t get a listen

Not even to himself

He spent 4 years away

Was led astray

Convicted for fraud

He said he knows more now

Now that he returned

The books that he read there

Told him he had gone too far

He’s always feeling left out

And he always left his friends out

He never understood why

That most of his friends are just bums

He’s tryna live better now

He says he needs that family life

He can tell he wasted much time

Winter time has taken his life

And making him miserable

He never feels he’s in control

He finds it hard to walk away

So all he ever does is stay drunk

This world is drunk

And the people are mad

So mad

This world is drunk

And the people are mad

So mad

This world is drunk, ooh

This world is drunk

So drunk

This world is drunk

And the people are mad

This world is drunk (This world is drunk)

And the people are mad

So, so very, so very

This world is drunk

And the people are mad

So mad

This world is drunk (So mad)

Ooh, this world is drunk

So mad

This world is drunk (So mad)

And the people are mad

This world is drunk
