Mad World

All around me
Are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early
For their daily races
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
And 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
'Cos I find it
Hard to take
When people run
In circles
It's a very, very
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
