Lyrics
MAD JACK
Mad Jack befriended the lonely
His soul imprisoned but walking free
Swears at life, bottle in hand
He tells the world to make a stand
For freedom
Chorus
His eyes changed into a darker colour
From blue to black
The blackest blue
He looks right through you
He lost all when he served the war
Body unscathed, inside all scars
The powerful images in his mind
His heart shrunk and it robbed him blind
Of freedom
Chorus
Mad man staggers through darkness
With anger tainted by sadness
Come near him, no I wouldn't dare
Across the street I look and stare
In freedom
Chorus
