Crazy Mixed-Up World

Woody song recorded with the Wetband:

Crazy Mixed-Up World - Wayne Webster

Look at all the multi-billionaires
With more money than they’ll ever need
Hungry for power and eaten up with greed
Marching the army of the unemployed around
To keep the cost of wages down
Except for the man who bats the ball
For him they build a golden shrine
Put his face up on the wall
To make the son to shine
Bright as the almighty movie stars
Creatures of light and sound
Been lifted up so high
They never can come down

And isn’t that just crazy
Crazy mixed-up world
In a little bubble
Through outer space is hurled
In a little bubble
Crazy mixed-up world

And see the glad hand politician stand
With a smile glued to his face
He will be your friend indeed
Until he wins the race
And then the angry man
Gives his kids the back of his hand
Throws his wife against the wall
Says no one understands at all
Just like the bankers who will make you pay
To give them all you earned today
So they can haul it all away
And leave you broke and burned and gray

And isn’t that just crazy
Crazy mixed-up world
In a little bubble
Through outer space is hurled
In a little bubble
Crazy mixed-up world

Read the paper any day
The nightmare just won’t go away
Everybody’s out there for themselves it seems
Why can’t we share these dreams we dream
Who can’t we share these dreams we dream
Torn and ragged in the street
Shouting that the end is near
Seems to me the sanest thing
I’ve heard in many year

And isn’t that just crazy
Crazy mixed-up world
In a little bubble
Through outer space is hurled

Yeah isn’t that just crazy
Crazy mixed-up world
In a little bubble
Through outer space is hurled
In a little bubble
Through outer space is hurled
In a little bubble
Though outer space is hurled
In a little bubble
Through outer space is hurled…
