Lyrics
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 the daily races, going nowhere, going nowhere.
And their tears are fillin' up their glasses, no expression, no expression.
Hide my head I wanna 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.
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, I find it hard to take.
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad World, Mad World, Mad World, Mad World.
