Gary Jules - Mad World (20th Anniversary) [Official Lyric Video]

Written by Roland Orzabal
Performed by Gary Jules

all around me are familiar faces
worn out places
worn out faces

bright and early for the daily races
going nowhere
going nowhere

the 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
I find it hard to take
when people run in circles it's a very, very
mad world
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 lession
look right through me, look right through 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
I find it hard to take
when people run in circles it's a very, very
mad world
mad world
enlargen your world
mad world
