about

‘The Whole World’s Gone Mad’ is the new song from Marcus Valance inspired by recent and ongoing world events.

"I have heard the phrase ‘The World’s Gone Mad’ more than ever recently and you just have to look around to see that things aren’t quite right in the world! Society has always had its problems but never, it seems, as much as now. The past can’t be changed, the present is in the balance, the future is uncertain and if one thing is for sure, The Whole World’s Gone Mad!”

- Marcus Valance

lyrics

We’ve been let down
No-where to hide your baby
No backing out
And now your life is changing
Who made the rules?
What bloody fools they are.

No setting sun
Now that the bombs are falling
“So many guns”,
You hear the children calling,
"What have you done? What have you done to us?”.
"You killing one is killing all of us.”

You’re not alone in this bad dream
You’re not alone in this world
We've got to keep it together
‘Cause lately the whole damned world's gone mad

You thought your crime
Was dried up conversation
You know you lied
So with no hesitation
Your time is up
It’s time to cut and run
You've had your day
You've had your childhood fun

You’re not alone in this bad dream
You’re not alone in this world
We've got to keep it together
Lately the whole damned world's gone mad

You’re not alone in this bad dream
You’re not alone in this world
We've got to keep it together
Lately the whole damned world's gone mad

Solo

You’re not alone in this bad dream
You’re not alone in this world
We got to keep it together
Lately the whole damned world's gone mad

You’re not alone in this bad dream believe me now
You’re not alone in this world
We've got to keep it together
Lately the whole damned world's gone mad
