Mad, Mad, World - Ricky Nelson

Everybody’s runnin' in a mad, mad world

But nobody’s goin' nowhere

Everybody’s gotta have more than the others

Gotta have more than their share

Ever since the devil tempted woman with an apple

We’ve all had a burden to bare

Now the world keeps turnin' and things are gettin' faster

Nobody’s goin' nowhere

They say the grass is greener on the other side

When they cross over they find

Everybody’s searchin' like you and me Tryin' to find peace of mind

See that little boy fishin' on the river

If I could just be like him

I’d close my eyes and let the mad world go by If only I could be like him

See that little boy fishin' on the river

If I could just be like him

I’d close my eyes and let the mad world go by If only I could be like him

I’d close my eyes and let the mad world go by If only I could be like him
