Crazy Mixed Up World Lyrics - Soul Asylum

Now that you're old enough 

And all grown now, 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 

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 

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 

A 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
