World Gone Mad Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So this is where we are
It's not where we had wanted to be
If half the world's gone mad
The other half just don't care, you see
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't want to fuck with us
British to the very last
[Chorus]
When it feels like the world's gone mad
And there's nothing you can do about it
No, there's nothing you can do about it
When it feels like the world's gone mad
And there's nothing you can do about it
No, there's nothing you can do about it
[Verse 2]
So tell me what's the news
And what is it you want me to see
We're lying to ourselves
And dancing by the light of the screen
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't want to fuck with us
British to the very last
[Chorus]
When it feels like the world's gone mad
And there's nothing you can do about it
No, there's nothing you can do about it
When it feels like the world's gone mad
And there's nothing you can do about it
No, there's nothing you can do about it
[Verse 3]
Another man holding a microphone
Trying to say something at all
Or finding himself on an empty road
Trying to choose which way to go
[Bridge]
So, you wanna make some money?
You wanna make some money
So, you wanna be somebody?
You wanna make some money
[Chorus]
When it feels like the world's gone mad
And there's nothing you can do about it
No, there's nothing you can do about it
When it feels like the world's gone mad
And there's nothing you can do about it
No, there's nothing you can do about it

What did Bastille say about "World Gone Mad"?
Dan confirmed that “World Gone Mad” was adapted from an existing song idea to fit Bright.
“Often when you hand something in or send something off there’s a delay, and as a creative person it can be crushing if you don’t hear something back even within a day, and literally 10 minutes later, I got a...
Will "World Gone Mad" be featured on the fourth album?
It was produced alongside the third album and fits into what Dan has previously said about the album’s theme, describing it as an “apocalyptic party record”:
“We wanted to do something that feels a bit different, wanted to take it a step on from our last record and acknowledge that since we release...
Is the lyric "British to the very last"? What about "Breeds ash"/"We dash"?
All three options were offered to Dan on Twitter and he responded (in a later deleted tweet) that “British to the very last” was correct.
