Symphony of a Mad World Lyrics

Now it's time to call
On children of the world to play war and save you just like me
You never want to kill
The trust you had could turn my faith
God save me from my world

Oh my lord
The devil's right here
The killer's right here
The love is right here
Your cross is right here

I can still remember love
Take a star to rise above
And the highest place we know
Is a mad world we call home

They program you to be
A revolution made for change
That murders for control
You never want to kill
To trust you had could turn my faith
God save me from my world

Oh my lord
The devil's right here
The killer's right here
The love is right here
Your cross is right here

I can still remember love
Take a star to rise above
And the highest place we know
Is a mad world we call home

Separate from me
Make it safe for me
Save today for me

I can still remember love
Take a star to rise above
And the highest place we know
Is a mad world we call home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
