In a mad world
There′s no mad me
I just let it go
I just let it be
In my universe    my reality
I can always be
Who I wanna be
Who I wanna be
I set into the other side
I had to find a way
Way to clear up my mind
Sometimes you gotta step aside
Just let it flow away
Way to leave it behind
Why are we always chasin&#039; somethin′
Chasin&#039; somethin&#039;?‎
Will we ever know?
In a mad world
There′s no mad me
I just let it go
I just let it be
In my universe    my reality
I can always be
Who I wanna be
Who I wanna be
Bridge:
Who I wanna be
Who I wanna be
I′m used to goin&#039;‎
Against the stream
Now I just let it take me
Wherever it feels
Sometimes I feel like drownin′
In the ocean
But it&#039;s gonna be okay
In a mad world
There′s no mad me
I just let it go
I just let it be
In my universe    my reality
I can always be
Who I wanna be
Who I wanna be
Mad world,  mad world
Mad world,  mad world
Bridge:
In a mad world,
There&#039;s a mad beat
I just let it go,
I just let it be
In my universe,
My reality
I can always be
who I wanna be
Who I wanna be
Bridge:
Who I wanna be
Who I wanna be

In a mad world

There′s no mad me

I just let it go

I just let it be

In my universe my reality

I can always be

Who I wanna be

I set into the other side

I had to find a way

Way to clear up my mind

Sometimes you gotta step aside

Just let it flow away

Way to leave it behind

Why are we always chasin' somethin′

Chasin' somethin'?‎

Will we ever know?

In a mad world

There′s no mad me

I just let it go

I just let it be

In my universe my reality

I can always be

Who I wanna be

Bridge:

Who I wanna be

I′m used to goin'‎

Against the stream

Now I just let it take me

Wherever it feels

Sometimes I feel like drownin′

In the ocean

But it's gonna be okay

In a mad world

There′s no mad me

I just let it go

I just let it be

In my universe my reality

I can always be

Who I wanna be

Mad world, mad world

Bridge:

In a mad world,

There's a mad beat

I just let it go,

I just let it be

In my universe,

My reality

I can always be
