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 [Refrain :] And I find it kind a funny, I find it kind a sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've 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,  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 [Refrain] Mad world,  Mad world,  Mad world,  Mad world      [Refrain] Mad world,  Mad world, I'm watching your world, Mad world
