Lyrics for It's a Crazy MIxed Up World

In a crazy, crazy mixed up world Crazy, crazy mixed up world Nobody got time for no one, crazy mixed up world You better live, you better live for yourself You got to live, you got to live for yourself Not to go and play the mixed up world And no one got time for no one Ten more years, what this world gonna be like, ten more years? Ten more years, this world's gonna be like, ten more years? The new generation, they won't have time to live In a crazy, mixed up world today Cra-, mixed up world today Well, sometimes I wonder, what gonna happen to the people, these days? Have mercy on 'em, Lord have mercy on 'em Take care of 'em, they don't know any better Please, hold your hand, day by day, over, night by night Please, look out for 'em, a crazy mixed up world They don't know no better, they don't have time, to live Crazy, mixed up world, a crazy mixed up world It's a crazy, mixed, up world, today
