I get the feeling it was different here Before we came along Another young man murdered on my TV there Seems so far from my comfy chair The world isn't good the world ain't bad The world ain't happy and the world ain't sad The thing about the world is it's gone mad (The thing about the world is...) I get the feeling it was different here Before we came along Everybody's talking 'bout the good old days How could they all be wrong? The thing about the world is it's gone mad Only world that we've ever had The only world that we can use It's big and round and it's got the blues (The thing about the world is...) The world isn't good the world ain't bad The world ain't happy, the world ain't sad The thing about the world is it's gone mad (The thing about the world is...) I get the feeling it was different here Before we came along Everybody's talking 'bout the good old days How could they all be wrong? In a world gone mad... Business man sittin' on a big empire Only took one day to set Rome on fire Food on the table in the lucky cases Sweet expressions on the children's faces (The thing about the world is...) The world isn't good the world ain't bad The world ain't happy and the world ain't sad The thing about the world is it's gone mad (The thing about the world is...) I get the feeling it was different here Before we came along Everybody's talking 'bout the good old days How could they all be wrong?..
