Flashback: The World’s Gone Mad!

Today’s musical post is from Handsome Boy Modeling School from back in 2004. That was a dark time for the planet after 9/11 changed our lives forever. Overnight we had suddenly found ourselves involved in two wars overseas, and a war at home against anyone that questioned anything. Had we gone mad? As rough an era as that was however, it was nothing compared to the unraveling that occurred after 2020. Will we find a way to overcome this divisive decade, or have we lost the love we had… again?

Lyrics:

Where’s the love
Where’s the love
Where’s the love
Where
‘Cause the world’s gone bad
We’ve lost the love we had
Hey look kids you need to change your tune
That avenue you traveling unraveling soon
You’ll be battling doom but does it matter to you
Worried ’bout who was laughing at you
Your appearance is more important than what’s really real
‘Cause here it is situation’s bad not meaning good
A lot be in the hood that got me with
Nowhere to put my trust in no discussion
Spontaneous combustion
Lust and greed if you ain’t up to speed
You’s a duck in need
Cats ain’t got enough to eat
So there’s bluffs and beef
Chicks up the street
That tricks come to see
Guns under the sheets
Shells pummel your meat
Forgetting former, still
Dude you’re sorta chill sitting on bout forty mill
But his whole quart’ll get spilled
Over those sort of deals
That get you sorta killed or up in court looking for appeals
‘Cause the world’s gone bad
We’ve lost the love we had
Take me away
‘Cause the world’s gone bad
We’ve lost the love we had
So down I want to go
So cold I have to go
So down I need to go
So cold as I go
Yo what up fam
You don’t know who I am
Last week you was acting like you was my man
But you wasn’t hey
Served you’re purpose dog
At the end of the day
Is it worth it all
Immersed in all the worth the world got to offer
But perpetrating proper like nothing can stop ya
Can’t even trust my doctor she in it for profit
And everybody looking for some kind of profit
Situation mad toxic my man got hit
‘Cause the bird he was with wouldn’t stop squawking
She juggling five cats and they all lost in
The illusion of love that she used for profit
The usual topic chickens and Benjamins
You supposed to be my kin Mexican or Asian European or Korean or Jamaican
Makes no difference
Our existence is still shared between us in essence
Yes the world’s gone bad
We’ve lost the love we had
Take me away
‘Cause the world’s gone bad
We’ve lost the love we had
Show some love for your brothers and sisters
Show some love for the whole wide world
Show some love for your enemies and frenemies
Show some love for the rejects on the street
Show some love for the whole wide world
‘Cause the world’s gone bad
We’ve lost the love we had
If the world is bad refer to your dad
And his before four score what’s the reason he saw for
Karma is real part of the deal when’s how you started the deal
‘Cause everything is 360
It will start the cartwheel
And snowballs so don’t forget now cause I told y’all
Dead the ’cause all it do is hold y’all captive
All in the world you’re trapped in
Relaxing you can’t feel what’s happening
I deal with facts man
I was at the crossroads dealing with lost souls that couldn’t cross though
Lost hope off dope
Out to jostle
Any unweary traveler that would fall the talk show
It’s foul how they play it
But you can’t stray to show love take
Courage and strength and realize we ain’t sure as we think you know
The world’s gone bad
We’ve lost the love we had
Take me away
Yes the world’s gone bad
We’ve lost the love we had
So down I want to go
So cold I have to go
So down I need to go
So cold as I go
‘Cause the world’s gone crazy
Even though love no more
Show love, show love, show show love
Show love, show love, show love
‘Cause the world’s gone bad
