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".

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

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.

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.

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
