Lyrics

Now that you're old enough
And all grown out
Trying to act so tough
Here comes a slap right in the face

Branding irons and cattle prods
And cowboys everywhere
Ropes flying through the air
Leave some kind of funny aftertaste

And when the room gets small
And the streets are filled with fighting
You'll find a way to escape
You'll find a better place

'Cause it's a crazy mixed up world out there
Someone's always got a gun
And it's all about money

You live with loneliness or you live with somebody
Who's crazy
It's just a crazy mixed up world

Jet fighters streak the air
And where they're going nobody seems to care
I guess we'll just wait and watch 'em fade

I don't think much about
The things I thought I just couldn't live without
I live without them everyday

And when you just can't handle one more panhandler
It leaves you wishing for change
Fast car to take you away

It's a crazy mixed up world out there
Someone's always got a gun
And it's all about money

You live with loneliness or you live with somebody
Who's crazy
It's just a crazy mixed up world

So take your shattered faith
And make it just like new
With crazy glue and tape
You're gonna need it again someday

You're gonna need it again
You're gonna need it today

'Cause it's a crazy mixed up world out there
Someone's always got a gun
And it's all about money

You live with loneliness or you live with somebody
Who's crazy
It's just a crazy mixed up world
