Now that you're old enough

And all grown now, tryin' to act so tough

Here comes a slap right in the face

Branding irons and cattle prods

Cowboys everywhere, ropes flyin through the air

Leaves 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

Someones 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

A fast car to take you away

It's a crazy mixed up world out there

Someones 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

Someones 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
