Mad World Lyrics

Tears For Fears

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 fillin' 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 dyin' 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 waitin' for the day they feel good Happy birthday, happy birthday Made to feel the way that every child should Sits and listen, sits 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 dyin' 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 dyin' 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 A raunchy young world Mad world

This song is beatiful, yet very sad. My mum loves it so much she included it in her book "The Blue Curse".

Megagoth

Beautiful yet sad, I wonder what the writer was thinking. Anyone know?

bimster

i love the song so much and its just such a sad song. i think u should put this song in a sad movie when somebody dies

oscarivera9

bimster--watch the movie Donnie Darko. You were not the first person to think that this song should be used in a movie after somebody dies. It is a great song.

This is a really good song. Adam from American Idol does this song justice to the nth degree.

I really like this song - but it sounds a lot like the book of Ecclesiastes (Bible). It could have been written by Solomon and still sound the same.

inamorata42

this is one of my favorite songs!!! i think is means that bad stuff happens, and we all need to **** it up and get over it.

JazzaLuis1

I prefer the Gary Jules version! xoxo

luciferxfatality

the song is kinda sad i dont really get the true meaning but i think it is everything u do in life is meaningless because in the end u die and all u do go 2 waste so dieing is the best thing cause u end the monotony and drudgery and sadness oflife
