Madness Lyrics by The Maytones

The Best of the Maytones

1975

Woy-e-oy - too much man is upon the land, Jah Jah
I got to wonder
If it's because the time's so hard
Yes I got to wonder
If it cause from to much drinking
Or it cause from to much smoking
I don't know, I want to know
Yes, the dread enough hurt
Most of this madness
Comes from the wickedness
Of our own people
Because they don't want to see there
Brothers and sisters
Reach the road of success
But I'm hoping
Father will change this situation
For it's bad, many dreadful
Yes, the dread enough hurt
Most of our skilful people
That do the useful in our country
Can't give them a helping hand at all
Because madness they control
Of their little brain
And they just don't know what to do
But I'm hoping
Father will change this situation
For it's bad, many dreadful
Yes, the dread enough hurt
Yes, imagine, enough hurt
Everywhere you go
