Prompt of mad.
Mad Machine
We walk round these lands with no one shaking hands
All out to be the one to win
Up for competing, working and fighting
Feeding the wheels of whatever this is that keeps them running
We're all part of the mad Machine
Tossing and turning our lives
Throwing us about and breaking our dreams
In this mad Machine
This mad Machine
We all make big plans so you're the one who can
Beat the best of Society
Light fires of greed, you feed and you bleed
Watching the growth of whatever this is that springs from a seed
We're all part of the mad Machine
Tossing and turning our lives
Throwing us about and breaking our dreams
In this mad Machine
Mad Machine
You can't leave the madness
It lives at your address
And every other home
There is no safe zone.
We're all part of the mad Machine
Tossing and turning our lives
Throwing us about and breaking our dreams
In this mad Machine
Mad Machine

Bleak, but good!

Excellent take on the prompt, powerful lyric. Got me thinking of the old Tears for Fears tune Mad World. Your lyric stacks up with theirs in every way.
@porrectus Feb 2022
Powerful words, well done. Mad machine indeed. Nice work
@sheilerk Feb 2022
A cynical view of a dystopian world. Unfortunately all too accurate in some very important ways. I think this will make a great, hard driving song.
@sheslin Feb 2022
Yes. Wow. You nailed it. It is totally a mad machine we are in.
@jwhanberry Feb 2022
"You can't leave the madness
It lives at your address
And every other home
There is no safe zone." I think this is the bridge. Powerful verse that sums up all the rest. Well put.

Great lyrics - and the truth in there resonates! Very nice.
@corinnecurcio Feb 2022
Strong lyrics. We certainly are in a mad machine!
@tukayandryan Feb 2022
Powerful lyrics and so true in today's society.
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
How very true ! Love you unusual take on the theme.
These two lines are quite good:
"Tossing and turning our lives
Throwing us about and breaking our dreams"
@andygriff Feb 2022
Terrific lyrics particularly in such a short time!
@berni1954 Feb 2022
"Light fires of greed, you feed and you bleed
Watching the growth of whatever this is that springs from a seed"
Wow! that is a statement that tears apart the fabric of society! Great stuff!
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Such an ominous feeling bridge… seems we can never escape the madness! Great albeit melancholic take on the prompt. Wonderful write!
@whispermouse Feb 2022
"Mad machine" is a great hook. "You can't leave the madness / It lives at your address / And every other home / There is no safe zone." - that hits hard - nice write.

good lyric, i am lucky to be pretty much out of most madness. we can break the chains but mostly we don't like the consequences ! it is a pretty mad world good skirmish
@tunecat Feb 2022

I love that title and your use of repetition. You do a great job of reinforcing that image, that idea. And I like the idea that you include all of us as part of it.
