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 . . . world
Enlarge your world
Mad world
