lyrics

Verse:

I live in a TV
There are people watching me
Who go on and on at how bad life can be
Is this some kind of curse?
In this whole universe
Everyone’s mad except me?

When you leave them on their own
They love to moan and groan
Don’t forget complain, it's the name of the game
Which goes on endlessly
Am I the only one?
Seeing this crazy world
Wondering where could I be?
Where could I be?
Where could I be?
Am I the only one who sees?

Chorus:

We’re in la la land
A magical world of nonsense
Where nothing is as it seems
Don’t try to make heads or tails of it all
Because you might just catch the disease

Verse:

When they shout "all aboard"
Act as if you haven't heard
Run away, don’t care to pray
For their God will give you away
Am I the only one
Not living upside down
Or is this reality?
Reality?
Reality?
Am I the only one who sees?

Chorus

Bridge:

Ahhhh free at last
That was one bad dream
I felt I was going mad
Wait a minute what was that?
It was a dream wasn’t it?
No it can't be, this is impossible
I want to get out of here,
I can't stand this, help me!!
Let me out, I want to leave
nooo I want to leave!!!!!

La la land
Sooner or later we’ll all go mad in La la land!
