  • So this is where we are
    It's not where we had wanted to be
    If half the world's gone mad
    The other half just don't care, you see

    You don't wanna fuck with us
    British to the very last

    When it feels (feels) like the world's gone mad (mad)
    And there's nothing you can do (do) about it
    No there's nothing you can do about it (about it)
    When it feels (feels) like the world's gone mad (mad)
    And there's nothing you can do (do) about it
    No there's nothing you can do about it (about it)

    So tell me what's the news
    And what is it you want me to see
    We're lying to ourselves
    And dancing by the light of the screen

    You don't wanna fuck with us
    British to the very last

    When it feels (feels) like the world's gone mad (mad)
    And there's nothing you can do (do) about it
    No there's nothing you can do about it (about it)
    When it feels (feels) like the world's gone mad (mad)
    And there's nothing you can do (do) about it
    No there's nothing you can do about it (about it)

    Another man holding a microphone
    Trying to say something at all
    Or finding himself on an empty road
    Trying to choose which way to go

    And so, you wanna make some money?
    You wanna make some money
    So, you wanna be somebody?
    You wanna make some money

    When it feels (feels) like the world's gone mad (mad)
    And there's nothing you can do (do) about it
    No there's nothing you can do about it (about it)
    When it feels (feels) like the world's gone mad (mad)
    And there's nothing you can do (do) about it
    No there's nothing you can do about it (about it) Writer/s: Daniel Campbell Smith, Mark Blair Crew
