The World is Mad
written by Michael Glover

One morning at the dawn of man
A bunch of monkeys sat around in the sand
They were happy, grooming, picking fleas
They were happy, they were simple, they were monkeys
One of the ape men picked up a rock
He nodded his head as he got his first thought
He measured the weight, he felt it was sharp
Time for Eden to end and mankind to start

"Hey," said the big brown ape to the monkey man
"You know those little red apes that we can't stand?"
"I've got a jagged rock and beauty of a plan"
Bang, bang! The world is mad

Time marches on as it often does
We see a bunch of naked apes with gas masks and guns
In a bloody muddy trench with barbed-wire around
When it's over no one knows what it was all about
Move right along to a similar time of weak resolve and the Maginot Line
When a damn good performer reaches millions of ears
And tells them exactly what they want to hear

Hey
"Well it makes perfect sense what the Chancellor says"
"Well, his methods are tough but it strong medicine"
"You've got nothing to fear if you're a decent man"
Bang, bang! The world is mad

A Korean, an African, and Indian who were afraid of each other and afraid of us too
Picked up the phone and called, toll free, to the Pentagon and said, "Pretty please,"
"I'll take a hundred M1s and some M16s and as many rocket launchers as you can squeeze,"
"Into a C14 transport plane, 'cause I want one of those. Have a nice day."
And across the water in a Chinese junk, sat a Taiwan general who was in a funk
'Cause we armed all his neighbors but forgot about him, so we offered the same
But he said, "Forget it, Jim"
So he called up the French and he said, "Bon Jour, I'll take a hundred jet fighters and some caviar,"
"And a nice red wine, and some nice Napalm, and a case of nerve gas, if you don't mind"

Hey
Well the gambling man is back again
He's got blood-stained dice and a stack of cash
He's betting we're as dumb as great-grand-dad
Bang, bang! The world is mad
