Story Behind The Song
I read a story one day about some college students wanting to ban Cynco De Mayo parties on campus becuase it ties drinking with a Mexican national holiday. Since I was in the middle of the Loco Moto satire project I thought I'd explore how many people feel about these type of growing attitudes.

Lyrics
Say You, think you got a lot to say. Feel blue when you never got a prize to play. In school their gonna have to teach it your way. Gimme more, gimme mine, you deserve it for thinking so kind.
I ... think you got too much to say. The ribbons on your wall say you always got a prize to play. Why ... should I always have to see it your way. Take a lump, earn a dime, and then you'll get respect from my kind.
Has the world gone crazy. And are we all mad. Has the world gone crazy. Well maybe just a tad. It's so damn crazy. As if we've all been had. So just cry baby, I'm sure you'll get your way. Yeah just cry baby the new American way.
Let your tears, let your tears, and your fears hang 'round. Pretend to never understand why your plan keeps letting you down. Hold your sign of the times in a line to parade your views . But that ain't ever gonna change my truth. So I say why... should you have to be angry all day. Say a prayer, give a dime, you'll know how it feels to be kind.
Has the world gone crazy. And are we all mad. Has the world gone crazy. I guess it's just too bad. It's so damn crazy. As if we've all been had. So just cry baby, I'm sure you'll get your way. Yeah just cry baby the new American way. Has the world gone crazy. Enough to make us mad. Has the world gone crazy. I always thought it had. It's so damn crazy. Not enough to be so sad. So just cry baby, I'm sure you'll get your way. Yeah just cry baby for the USA.
I'm trapped here in this dialtone. I want to dry my eyes. Leave me here caught in the twilight. Things that can't be done. So erase me.
We've all been mad. We've all been had. But that's not all bad. So don't cry baby, we'll let you have your say. Has the World Gone Crazy. We've all gone mad. Has the World Gone Crazy. We've all gone mad. It's so damn crazy. And just a little hazy. So just cry baby that's democracy today. Yeah just cry baby.
