Mad World

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

'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

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

'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

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

'Cause I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It's a very, very

Mad world, mad world

Halargian world

Mad world, mad world
