Everybody’s runnin' in a mad, mad world
But nobody’s goin' nowhere
Everybody’s gotta have more than the others
Gotta have more than their share
Ever since the devil tempted woman with an apple
We’ve all had a burden to bare
Now the world keeps turnin' and things are gettin' faster
Nobody’s goin' nowhere
They say the grass is greener on the other side
When they cross over they find
Everybody’s searchin' like you and me Tryin' to find peace of mind
See that little boy fishin' on the river
If I could just be like him
I’d close my eyes and let the mad world go by If only I could be like him
See that little boy fishin' on the river
If I could just be like him
I’d close my eyes and let the mad world go by If only I could be like him
I’d close my eyes and let the mad world go by If only I could be like him
Oh my! I remember singing this song with my sisters when we were just little. We were so excited cause we knew all the words! Nice song bringing back lovely memories!!! Thanks!
THIS IS MY " PRAYER SONG ", WHENEVER I AM TENSED, WORRIED, AND LOST MY DIRCTION. SIR, RICKY NELSON SIR, IF YOU WERE STILL ALIVE, I WOULD KISS YOUR HAD IN GRATITUDE. GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE, WHWEREVER YOU ARE. KISS"S
Thank you very much for your lovely comment.
I posted this wonderful song because an israeli singer by the name Moni Arnon translated this song to Hebrew .
Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, Middle East : Whaaat, Are you serious? The world has certainly gone mad and heading to self destruction in WW3. US, UK, NATO, Japan against Russia and China. What a block buster history.
This song brings back fond memories of my childhood days in my old wooden house back in the 60s, when we were playing near the small stream . I have been searching for this song for quite a while and I am glad I am able to listen to it again. Thank you .
The hebrew version calld - מוני ארנון - עולם מטורף, and I also uploaded another wonderful version of this song by Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas that was recorded in 1964.
Enjoy!
