All around me are familiar faces

Worn out spaces, worn out places

Bright and early for the daily races

Goin' nowhere, goin' nowhere

.

And their tears are fillin' 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 dyin' are the best I 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

Mad world, mad world

.

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

.

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 dyin' 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

Mad world, mad world

Mad world, mad world
