Been around the world
And I’ve seen some crazy things
I’ve met visionaries
With their crazy dreams
In this crazy world
In this crazy world
I’ve met mad men
With evil in their eyes
Crowds of crazy people
That they hypnotize
In this crazy crazy world
In this crazy crazy world
And I realize – that what you feel’s
The only real in a world of make believe
When I’m high I feel free
And the only cure for crazy
When my mind is weak and lazy
Is to break it on down
Break it on down
Got some years behind me
On this time machine
But the gears are getting rusty
It’ll soon be time to leave
This crazy crazy world
This crazy crazy world
Even in my youthful years
I was seeking past the grave
To a place that ain’t so crazy
To a place where I’ll be safe from
This crazy crazy world
This crazy crazy world
And I realize – that what you feel’s
The only real in a world of make believe
When I’m high I feel free
And the only cure for crazy
When my mind is weak and lazy
Is to break it on down
Break it on down
I realize – that what you feel’s
The only real in a world of make believe
When I’m high I feel free
And the only cure for crazy
When my mind is weak and lazy
Is to break it on down
Break it on down
Break in on down
Written in 1994. I knew the world was crazy a long time ago. I don’t think much has changed. Except maybe for the degree and flavor of crazy. Or I’m just becoming an old man.
