[Verse 1 - fast rap] - Guster

Once upon a time

there was man

Livin’ in a flat, simple life, had a plan (happy)

went out to sit,

out to run

out to walk with his dog

not to sit home all day

and do nothing but mog

Like I said he was

happy,

he was kind

he was chill

and was calm

but it didn´t stop being his

neighbours loud

First he tried to talk with em

then he got to stalkin them

Third he had no opinion

so he took his knife and stabbed em,

Then came police

and ambulance

(I don´t think he saw his chance)

Turning Madman is not that hard

if you have a good vision

and a mindful guard

you break

you ruin, humiliate

but you´re nothing

but a fish bait.

[Chorus] - Guster

His a

MADMAN

Burning all streets down

MADMAN

Takin over the town

MADMAN

No smile, only a frown

MADMAN

His a Madman

Stuck in the Badlands

(That´s bad)

MADMAN

Burning all streets down

MADMAN

Takin over the town

MADMAN

No smile, only a frown

MADMAN

His a Madman

[Verse 2 - female vocals] - Star

Dog don’t bark no more,

just stares when he’s up

Pacing in the night,

he don’t sleep, just shakes

Every little sound

got him wide awake

Started with a pill,

said it helped him think straight

Then another one

just to “slow down the hate”

Now he’s mixing bottles,

can’t remember his name

Sees ‘em in the corners,

yeah they whisper his pain

Talking to himself like

“they deserved what they got”

But the silence get loud

when the world goes to rot

Heartbeat getting heavy,

vision starting to spin

Took too many this time,

now it’s closing him in

Hit the floor slowly,

cold tile on his face

No one there to hear him,

no one left in that place

Once a man with a life,

now a ghost in a flat

All that noise in his head…

finally quieted that

[Chorus] - Guster

His a

MADMAN

Burning all streets down

MADMAN

Takin over the town

MADMAN

No smile, only a frown

MADMAN

His a Madman

Stuck in the Badlands

(That´s bad)

MADMAN

Burning all streets down

MADMAN

Takin over the town

MADMAN

No smile, only a frown

MADMAN

His a Madman

Stuck in the Badlands

[Bridge] - Star

Shadows on the wall don’t move no more

Voices in his head don’t scream no more

All the rage he held just fades to black

Ain’t no turning ‘round, ain’t no coming back

Silence… louder than it ever was

Peace… but it don’t mean love

Empty room, no light, no breath, no fight

Madman lost inside his mind that night

[Chorus] - Guster

His a

MADMAN

Burning all streets down

MADMAN

Takin over the town

MADMAN

No smile, only a frown

MADMAN

His a Madman

Stuck in the Badlands

(That´s bad)

MADMAN

Burning all streets down

MADMAN

Takin over the town

MADMAN

No smile, only a frown

MADMAN

His a Madman

Stuck in the Badlands
