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 [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 
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 [bad word] in circles it's a very very 
Mad world . . . world 
Enlarge your world 
Mad world
