Lyrics They Make Me Mad - The Selecter

They used those fancy words to confuse your mind

But since I never did no elocution rhymes

Made me think that everything they said was fine

So I nod and wink and smile

I said I understood

I went all the way

Giving up myself to their philosophy

Now that things have changed

I make my mind up for myself

I look back on all those words

There's little meaning in their sound

They make me mad

Mindless confusion makes me mad

Look beyond people

Untie your hands

You're living in a time of shifting sands

Fights are happening in other lands

Now I shake my head and frown

I'm getting off my knees

I'm gonna teach myself

A new philosophy

Have things really changed?

Do I make my mind up for myself?

I look back on all those words

There's little meaning in their sound

They make me mad

Mindless confusion

Makes me mad
