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 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, It's a very very
Mad world
Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, Happy birthday
Want to feel the way 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?
Looked right through me, She looked 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, It's a very very
Mad world
Mad world

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, It's a very very
Mad world
Sad world
Mad girl
Mad world
