All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for the daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere The tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrows No tomorrow, no tomorrow And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad That 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 they 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 That 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 It's a mad world, mad world
