[Verse 1]

What would you say

If the whole world could hear it?

What would you do

If you knew they would believe it?

I need something real

And we don't care how you feel

I don’t wanna give up, we will never give up

[Chorus]

We got black mascara runnin'

We want change, but it ain't comin’

Hanging by a thread

So close to the edge

We wanna beat that generation

But we can't live up to their expectations

Hanging by a thread

So close to the edge

[Refrain]

Livin' in a mad world

We're livin' in a mad world

Livin' in a mad—

[Verse 2]

I cannot change

I'm proud of who I am

And this is how I stay

Don't care if you understand it

I need something real

And we don’t care how you feel

I don’t wanna give up, we will never give up

[Chorus]

We got black mascara runnin'

We want change, but it ain’t comin'

Hanging by a thread

So close to the edge

We wanna beat that generation

But we can't live up to their expectations

Hanging by a thread

So close to the edge

[Bridge]

Livin' in a mad world

We’re livin' in a mad world

We're livin' in a mad world

We're livin' in a mad world

We're livin' in a mad world

[Chorus]

We got black mascara runnin'

We want change, but it ain't comin'

Hanging by a thread

So close to the edge

We wanna beat that generation

But we can't live up to their expectations

Hanging by a thread

So close to the edge

[Outro]

What would you say

If the whole world could hear it?

What would you do

If you knew they would believe it?
