All around me are familiar faces,
Worn out places, worn out faces.
Bright & 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 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 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.
And I feel the way that every child should,
Sit & listen, sit & 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 people run in circles,
It's a very very mad world, mad world,
Enlarging your world, mad world.
