All around me are familiar faces 

Worn out places - worn out faces 

Bright and early for their daily races 

Going nowhere - going nowhere 

And their tears are filling up their glasses 

No expression - no expression 

Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow 

No tommorow - no tommorow 



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 

'Cos I find it hard to take 

When people run in circles 

It's a very, very 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
