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 
Their tears are filling up their glasses 
No expression, no expression 
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow 
No tomorrow, no tomorrow 

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

Children waiting for the day 
They feel good 
Happy birthday, happy birthday 
And I 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 kind of funny 
I find it kind of 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 [bad word] in circles 
It's a very very
Mad world, mad world
