Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 want to drown my sorrows
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
[Verse 2]
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
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, it's a very, very
[Verse 3]
Mad world
Mad world
[Verse 4]
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to 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
[Verse 5]
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
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, it's a very, very
[Verse 6]
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
[Verse 7]
Mad world
Mad world
[Verse 8]
I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
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, it's a very, very
[Verse 9]
Mad world
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world
