Song lyrics
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces

Bright and early for the 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 sorrows
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

And they 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 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

They're both great, though I don't quite get the movie. This song rules and is like something I can relate to.

*goes to watch donnie darko again*

This is such a sad song, I love it. How terrifying it would be for me, to have the best dreams are those in which Im dying, its such a morbid thought, Props for Tears for Fears for writing thing song*reason why it was allowed on donnie darko all songs are from 1988 or before* But the Gary Jules version is much better. Oh how true it is that we live in a Mad World.

Maybe a stupid question, but was it Gary Jules who sang this song in the Donnie Darko soundtrack or did he just write the text?
