All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races

Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow


And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very, very
Mad world, mad world


Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday


And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen


Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me

Hello teacher tell me, what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me


And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take

When people run in circles its a very, very
Mad world, mad world, enlarging your world
Mad world
