verse one:
all around me are familiar faces
wornout places, wornout faces
bright and early for the daily races
going no where going no where
and the tears are filling up their glasses
no expression, no expression
drown my head i want to drown my sorrows
no tommorrow, no tommorrow

(chorus)
and i find it kind of funny, i find it kind of sad
the dreams in which im dying are the best i've ever had
and i find it hard to tell you, i find it hard to take
when people run in circles
its a very very mad world.... mad world

(verse two)
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 meeeeeee

(chorus)

mad world
mad world
