about

This song is bout the upside down priorities we humans have. Trivial things get all kinds of attention, while the truly important things are forgotten.

lyrics

The lie becomes the truth
And the truth becomes a lie
Good has turned to bad
And bad will get you high

Politicians on the stomp
make promises they won’t keep
Does anyone even care anymore
Talk’s become so cheap

CHORUS: It’s a crazy world – take a look around
It’s a crazy world - nerves are tense and wound
It’s a crazy world - priorities upside down
Ohh! - It’s a crazy world

Madison Ave. executives
have their boardroom talk
Finding ways to sell their goods
to create a rise in stock

We’re going fracking crazy
Tearing holes in Mother Earth
Future generations will
Wonder what it was worth

CHORUS:

Extremists live a lie online
and plot their sins of hate
And when they pull the trigger back
the bullets cannot wait

America’s exceptional
At least that’s what they say
If you don’t like it, leave
Love it, you can stay
