There's a beggar down inside of me
Standing on the corner of the street
And my shame is my only company

Can use some cash, but can't admit my need
For what you've got and what I could receive
I need you love to come and break the silence


Don't stop the madness
Don't stop the chaos

Don't stop the pain surrounding me
Don't be afraid, love, to break my heart
Just bring me down to my knees, yeah


All I hear is what they're selling me
That God is love, he isn't suffering

And what you need's a little faith and prosperity
But, oh my God, I know there's more than this
If you promise pain it can't be meaningless

So make me poor if that's the price for freedom

Don't stop the madness

Don't stop the chaos
Don't stop the pain surrounding me
Don't be afraid, love, to break my heart

If it brings me down to my knees, yeah

In a marriage lost

And the cry in the dark
Don't stop with your love
And the mother's tear

For the child that starves
Don't stop with your love
When we're breaking down

We're falling apart
Don't stop with your love
And with new eyes to see

This is your mercy
Don't stop with your love


Don't stop the madness
Don't stop the chaos
Don't stop the pain inside of me

Do whatever it takes to give me your heart
And bring me down to my knees, Lord
