All around me are familiar faces Worn out places Worn out faces
Bright & early for their 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'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 & listen Sit & listen
Went to school & I was very nervous No one knew me No one knew me
Now the teacher tells me what's my lesson Look right through me Look right through me
