Analysis of Crazy Mad World



It's a crazy mad world,
The world in which we are,
We have no time for ourselves;
We hurry and worry all the time,
Worry about work, Worry about rest,
Worry about food, worry about health,
Worry about kids and worry about wealth;
Oh!, it is worry about almost everything!!,
Switching from career to career,
Moving from place to place,
Touring countries, searching for happiness,
Oh!, it is an endless search that leads to no where!!,
What you do today, is outmoded tomorrow;
What you value today, turns out worthless tomorrow,
Oh!, it is a mad, mad, mad  world.
