 Piano intro
 OR
 –  –  –
 All around me are familiar faces
Worn  out places, worn out faces
 Bright and early for their 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 kinda funny
 I find it kinda 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
 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 me
 Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look  right through me, look right through me
 And I find it kinda funny
 I find it kinda 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
 Enlarge your world
Mad  world
