Mad World
Tears for Fears
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
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
*chorus*
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
coz 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 lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
*chorus*
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
Its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
enlarged in your world
Mad world
Hello!
I hope this finds you and your family in health and gratitude.
Roland, I identify with these lyrics,when I was in my darkest days of substance addiction. I felt alone and different in my child and adulthood. and after some time,I saw little positive meaning in this world. Fortunately,I got help in NA,and Words of Peace Global.org 11 yrs.ago,and am a happy,grateful,inspired person now.I too am a musician and songwriter.
I was wondering how you got to this place,you overcame the darkness you expressed in these lyrics?
Thank You for you both for all that you have,and continue to do, to make a positive difference in otherwise lonely,miserable lives…and those who are not,and simply are uplifted by your music!
You are appreciated,repespected, and will not be forgotten.
Blessings,
Joe in Ashland, Oregon.
