All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
To no tomorrow, to 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
And you find it hard to take
You see this world walks in circles
It's a very, very mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I 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 you and me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
To look right through me, to look right through you and me

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
And you find it hard to take
You see my world walks in circles
It's a very, very mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world

Enlarging your world
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world
