They Make Me Mad (BBC In Concert) - The Selecter

But since I never did no elocution rhymes

Made me think that everything they said was fine

So I nod and wink and smile

I said I understood

I went all the way

Giving up myself to their philosophy

Now that things have changed

I make my mind up for myself

I look back on all those words

There’s little meaning in their sound

They make me mad

They make me mad

Mindless confusion makes me mad

Look beyond people

Untie your hands

You’re living in a time of shifting sands

Fights are happening in other lands

Now I shake my head and frown

I’m getting off my knees

I’m gonna teach myself

A new philosophy

Have things really changed?

Do I make my mind up for myself?

I look back on all those words

There’s little meaning in their sound

They make me mad

They make me mad

Mindless confusion

Makes me mad
