World Gone Mad

[Verse 1]
Standing on the roof my daddy built
Looking at the rising of the silt
Everything I ever loved is underneath
But what the river wants the river keeps

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to believe in fortune
And that in the hands of God
Everybody gets no more than
They deserve

[Chorus]
But the more I see the less I understand
Watching as the water swallows the land
I’m starting to believe there was never a plan
And that the world’s gone mad

[Verse 2]
Something’s out of order, out of place
Nothing we were taught is happening today
If you are the maker watching down
What a mess you’re making of this town

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to believe in fate
And the wheel of Karma
I used to believe in the way
The penny drops

[Chorus]
But the more I see the less I understand
Watching as the water swallows the land
I’m starting to believe there was never a plan
And that the world’s gone mad

[Bridge]
And I will not leave
I will not leave
No I will not leave
Still the water takes me

[Chorus]
Cause the more I see the less I understand
Watching as the water swallows my land
I’m starting to believe there was never a plan
And that the world’s gone-
The more I see the less I understand
Watching as the water swallows my land
I’m starting to believe there was never a plan
And that the world’s gone mad
