All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Goin' nowhere
Goin' nowhere
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin' are the best I've ever had
Find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles, it's a very, very
Mad world
(Mad world)
(Mad world)

Children waitin' 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
