'Cause I find it hard to take
It's a very, very
When people run in circles
Mad world, mad world
Children waitin' for the day they feel good
Look right through me, look right through me
I find it hard to tell you
All around me are familiar faces
A raunchy young world
Songwriter: Roland Orzabal
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
It's a very, very
It's a very, very
No one knew me, no one knew me
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Worn out places, worn out faces
I find it hard to tell you
And I find it kind of funny
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
Sits and listen, sits and listen
No expression, no expression
Mad world, mad world
And I find it kind of funny
Went to school and I was very nervous
I find it kind of sad
I find it kind of sad
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson?
I find it kind of sad
Mad world
Made to feel the way that every child should
Mad world, mad world
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it hard to tell you
Are the best I've ever had
'Cause I find it hard to take

When people run in circles
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Their tears are fillin' up their glasses
Are the best I've ever had
'Cause I find it hard to take
Are the best I've ever had
When people run in circles
