All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
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 am 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 am 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
