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 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  
And I 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
