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 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

''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
