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 

Enlarge your world 
Mad world
