All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces  
Bright and early for their 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 sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow  

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda 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 it's a very very
      Mad world,      Mad world,

     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   

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda 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 it's a very very
      Mad world,      Mad world,
