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
I hide my head, want to drown my sorrows
And I find it kinda funny,
The dreams in which I'm dy ing
I find it hard to tell you,
When people run in circles,
Children waiting for the day
Happy birthday, happy birthday
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?
And I find it kind of funny,
The dreams in which I'm dy ing
are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you,
When people run in circles,
Yeah, I'm talking about mad world,
Cause it's a very, very mad world
Oh, living in a mad world
