All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places 
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where 
Going no where
And the tears are filling up their glasses
No expression 
No expression
And in my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow 
No tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny 
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which im dying
Are the best i've ever had
And I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When [bad word] in circles 
Its a very, very.. mad world.. mad world.. 

Children waiting for the day they feel good 
Happy birthday 
Happy birthday 
May they 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
And the teacher tells me what's my lesson
Look right through me 
Look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
And 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 [bad word] in circles 
It's a very, very.. mad world.. mad world.. 
Mad World
Mad World
