So Insane - Lyrics - Mad At The World

Mad at the World was a Christian rock band active from 1987 to 1998 in Southern California. It originally consisted of brothers Roger and Randy Rose with Mike Pendleton, later joined by Brent Gordon. Pendleton and Gordon left the band in 1992 and were replaced by Mike Link and Ben Jacobs. The band produced seven studio albums, one compilation package and two double reissues of previous albums.

Don't ever put your brain on the runaway train, 'cause it won't be coming back, It's going faster now than it ever did, because it's running on downhill tracks, The wheels are turning on the cold, black steel; smoke billowing in the air, And, if you ride this train, you're gonna end in pain...'cause you're living like you just don't care. Don't you know drugs only kill you? Nothing to gain - it's so insane, Don't you know one thing for certain? - It's gonna bring you pain, Doing drugs is so insane. And then you hear somebody talking in your ear, and you listen to the things they say, They got a place to show you called "The Promised Land", and it's gonna take you far away, They say, "The feeling's fine, it's a friend of mine, and it's heaven when you get so high," But, if you take that road, you're gonna crash and burn, This promised land is a deadly lie. Don't you know drugs only kill you? Nothing to gain - it's so insane, Don't you know one thing for certain? - It's gonna bring you pain, Doing drugs is so insane. It won't take you high, it's all a lie, It's gonna bring you down, You throw your life away, and then you got no say 'cause no one hears you when you're six feet under ground. You are wonderful, you are beautiful, You're a human, a precious soul, I can't believe you want to give your life away to some drug that's gonna take control, yeah, 'Cause life was given to you, it was a gift from God, and you should be living straight, And if you don't get off that road to Hell, pretty soon it's gonna be too late. Don't you know drugs only kill you? Nothing to gain - it's so insane, Don't you know one thing for certain? - It's gonna bring you pain, Doing drugs is so insane, yeah.
