All around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces Running early for their daily races, going nowhere, going nowhere The tears are filling up their gla**es, no expression, no expression And my head, I'm gonna drown my sorrow, no tomorrow, no tomorrow [Chorus] And I find it kind of funny, a funny kind of sad That 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 Children waiting for the day they feel good, happy birthday, happy birthday And I feel that 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 And all teachers tell me what's my lesson, look right through me, look right through me [Chorus] And I find it kind of funny, a funny kind of sad That 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 Mad world Mad world Mad world
