All around me are familiar faces
\nWorn out places, worn out faces
\nBright and early for their daily races
\nGoing nowhere, going nowhere
\nAnd their tears are filling up their glasses
\nNo expression, no expression
\nHide my head I want to drown my sorrow
\nNo tommorow, no tommorow
\nAnd I find it kind of funny
\nI find it kind of sad
\nThe dreams in which I’m dying
\nAre the best I’ve ever had
\nI find it hard to tell you
\n‘Cos I find it hard to take
\nWhen people run in circles
\nIt’s a very, very
\nMad World
\nChildren waiting for the day they feel good
\nHappy Birthday, Happy Birthday
\nMade to feel the way that every child should
\nSit and listen, sit and listen
\nWent to school and I was very nervous
\nNo one knew me, no one knew me
\nHello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
\nLook right through me, look right through me<\/p>\n
