Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All around me are familiar faces
Worn-out spaces, worn-out places
Bright and early with their daily races
Goin' nowhere, goin' nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
[Verse 2]
And I find it kinda funny, and I find it kinda sad
But the dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
And I find it hard to tell you, and I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
[Verse 3]
Children waitin' 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
I 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 4]
And I find it kinda funny, and I find it kinda sad
That the dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
And I find it hard to tell you, and I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world
