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
