Lyrics

[Verse 1]

So this is where we are

It's not where we had wanted to be

If half the world's gone mad

The other half just don't care, you see

[Verse 2]

You don't wanna fuck with us

British to the very last

[Verse 3]

When it feels like the world's gone mad

And there's nothing you can do about it

No, there's nothing you can do about it

When it feels like the world's gone mad

And there's nothing you can do about it

No, there's nothing you can do about it

[Verse 4]

So tell me, what's the news?

And what is it you want me to see?

We're lying to ourselves

And dancing by the light of the screen

[Verse 5]

You don't wanna fuck with us

British to the very last

[Verse 6]

When it feels like the world's gone mad

And there's nothing you can do about it

No, there's nothing you can do about it

When it feels like the world's gone mad

And there's nothing you can do about it

No, there's nothing you can do about it

[Verse 7]

Another man holding a microphone

Trying to say something at all

Or finding himself on an empty road

Trying to choose which way to go

[Verse 8]

So you wanna make some money?

You wanna make some money

So you wanna be somebody?

You wanna make some money

[Verse 9]

When it feels like the world's gone mad

And there's nothing you can do about it

No, there's nothing you can do about it

When it feels like the world's gone mad

And there's nothing you can do about it

No, there's nothing you can do about it
