Took a big trip With your old band To your homeland For the wrong man Making big plans For your own sake Hope they don't bend Hope they don't break Took a tip from a rodeo show Get a grip or you're gonna get thrown Take your aim when you take a shot For the man under you will take everything you got Take the pills that they give you mornings Spit them out when they aren't looking Keep a smile but you burn it hot It's a mad, mad, world Take the pills that they give you mornings Spit them out when they aren't looking Fix a smile but you burn it hot It's a mad, mad, world
