All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places â€" worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere â€" going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression â€" no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow â€" 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 â€" happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen â€" sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me â€" no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me â€" 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 . . . world
Enlarge your world
Mad world
