In the morning, reading the paper
Read the front page to the back page [bad word] to the nuclear age
No more time for vicious outrage

Same old madness 
Same old madness
Same old madness
Same old madness

Wright to London, wright to London
wright to Tokyo, wright to Thailand
Wright us right here in our homeland
Regan sits behind them leering
Soviets are domineering
Third world things need engineering
No more time for loving, caring

Same old madness
Same old madness
Same old madness
Same old madness

In the evening, reading the paper
Read the front page to the back page  [bad word] to the crazy age
It's the very latest craze

Same old madness
Same old madness
Same old madness
Same old madness
