When I open my eyes for a moment I'm fine

Until I'm scrolling through the days headlines

Try to keep myself numb turn the radio on

Hoping to shake it but it burned my mind

Wish that I could go somewhere the news is good

And throw away my phone

I I don't wanna look 'cause

I don't wanna know

But I can't ignore it now

Baby if I'm being honest

I wish I could check out

Don't do it

I need a vacation

Don't do it

I just need a break right now

Get away get away

From a cold and crazy world

I need a vacation

'Cause it's a mad mad world

Mad mad

Mad mad

'Cause it's a mad mad world

Do the best that I can standing up to the man

Fighting the power tryna hold us down

Never give up the fight rising up for what's right

But I need to take a breath before I down

Wish that I could go somewhere the news is good

And throw away my phone

I I don't wanna look 'cause

I don't wanna know

But I can't ignore it now

Baby if I'm being honest

I wish I could check out

Don't do it

I need a vacation

Don't do it

I just need a break right now

Get away get away

From a cold and crazy world

I need a vacation

'Cause it's a mad mad world

Mad mad

Mad mad

'Cause it's a mad mad world

Mad mad

Mad mad

'Cause it's a mad mad world

Got me on my knees got me on my knees

Don't do it

I won't let myself give up right now

Don't do it

I get upon my feet I get upon my feet

And get to it

Even though the world is upside down

I need a vacation

Don't do it

I just need a break right now

Get away get away

From a cold and crazy world

Cold and crazy world

I need a vacation

'Cause it's a mad mad world

Mad mad

Mad mad

'Cause it's a mad mad world

Mad mad

'Cause it's a mad mad world
