SKApril!

The Last Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day of SKApril 2014
Prince Buster, "Madness" via iTunes (T.L.A.M.)

Skammentary: The song after which the 2-Tone band Madness named themselves.

"Madness, madness, they call it madness,
Madness, madness, they call it madness,
It's plain to see that is what they mean to me,
Madness, madness, I call it gladness.

"Madness, madness, they call it madness,
But if this is madness than I know I'm filled with gladness.
It's gonna be rougher (rough),
It's gonna be tougher (tough),
And I won't be the one, no, no, no, who's going to suffer.

"Propaganda ministers,
Propaganda ministers,
I've got a' aim in view,
Man, I'm gonna walk all over you!

"Madness, madness, they call it madness,
But if this is madness, man, I know I'm filled with gladness.
It's gonna be rougher (rough),
It's gonna be tougher (tough),
And I won't be the one, no, no, no, who's going to suffer.
People, you'll see the one who's going to suffer,
And I'll never, never, never be that one who's going to suffer."
