[Verse 1]
I get up in the morning
For my dose of the news
Crawl right back in the sack girl
Had enough of the truth
Spend your dollars and rubels
Buy a piece of the wall
Build it up in your backyard
I'm so sick of it all

[Chorus]
Ooh, it's a crazy world
Ooh, it's a crazy world

[Verse 2]
Driving down to the city
Doing 155
Better late than never
I'm more dead than alive
We can find the Titanic
Put a man on the moon
But we can't fix out backyard
Man we better start soon

[Chorus][x2]

[Verse 3]
I don't want to hear about it
I wish it would be worlds away
You know the more I think about it
The more I feel we need to change
I get up (In a crazy, crazy world)
We all live (In a crazy, crazy world)
Ooh yeah (It's a crazy, crazy world)
I got to get out (Of this crazy, crazy world)
Going home to my baby
It's been another hard day
Bust my balls for the tax man
So what else can I say
They spent our money on missiles
For the third world war
Now they're stacked in my backyard
We don't need them no more

[Chorus][x2]
