All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places

Worn out facesBright and early for their daily races

Goin′ nowhere

Goin' nowhere

And I find it kinda funny

I find it kinda sad

The dreams in which I′m dyin' are the best I've ever had

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)

Children waitin' 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

All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places

Worn out faces

Bright and early for their daily races

Goin' nowhere

Goin′ nowhere

And I find it kinda funny

I find it kinda sad

The dreams in which I'm dyin′ are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

'Cause I find it hard to take

Children waitin′ 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 really nervous

No one knew me

No one knew me

Hello, teacher, tell me, what's my lesson?

Look right through me
