All around me my familiar data
Meets migrator - now or later
Carly did this, but now - don't you hate her
Get you nowhere - get you nowhere
Their bills are filling up their coffers
Smug expression - smug expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
MPE has no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
This system which is dying is the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people start migrating it's a very very
mad world…. mad world…..

People waiting for the day they feel good
Learning Unix - learning Unix
Made to feel the way that not one child should -
Sit and listen - sit and listen
Went to class and I was very nervous
Learn things new - me? Learn things new - me
Help me teacher, parse this strange expression
Looked right through me - looked right through me

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
This system which I'm losing is the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world . . . mad world….

Confine your world…..

Mad world......
