 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 people run 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 Ive ever had
 I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
 When people run in circles its a very very
 Mad world . . . world
 Enlarge your world
 Mad world
