[Verse 1]
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
[Chorus]
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I ever had
I 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I ever had
I 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
[Verse 1]
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
[Pre-Chorus]
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
[Chorus]
It's a mad world, ooh
(Ooh-ooh) It's a mad world, ooh
I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I 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
