Madsong is a tongue in cheek piece where I afford myself the luxury of saying things I don't mean. However, this is a song about a world view which contains a healthy dose of anarchy.
lyrics
Now we live in a world with no solutions
To our problems which through evolution
Have escalated into a form of madness
That we have all accepted
So tell me why are you still drooling
When with all your schooling
You are supposed to be a better man than me
No No don’t give me no bullshit
Just tell me that you’ve had it
With this world we have created
It’s time we do something
So walk into any government office
And tell them you didn’t elect them
In fact , if you had it your way
The laws you would erase
But that would leave then out of work you know
Even though they wouldn’t suffer
‘Till we take our boots to their face
Don’t get me wrong
I’m really not that violent
But with the end so near
We have nothing they can trace
So we sing a madsong
