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 |

4 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This my favorite song. Not because it has a good rhythm or a good melody. I like it because it's the truth. We really DO live in a MAD WORLD! I mean some people are straving in Africa right now while we americans are dying of obesity! Come on! Now that is truly mad! This song also scares me, because it's the truth. Sometimes we lie to ourselves to make everything seem beautiful and perfect when in fact it is not. We will always need songs like this one to snap us back into reality. And the sad, but true, reality is that our world is utterly MAD. |

36 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song creeps me out! I love it. It's kinda cynic, but it also opens ones eyes. A great cover, the Tears for Fears goes to fast, but still they are the ones that made up the lyrics. It fits so good in Donnie Darko. I can imagine how many people can relate to the lyrics. Totally out of this world... |

375 posts | The song is good. I was humming this song a few weeks ago and I'm wondering if I've ever even heard it before I say Donnie Darko...I hope I have because that is some freaky weird shit. If anybody can understand the movie for me, send me a message because I'm confused as hell. |

1 posts | Whoh. I just had one of the best dreams I've ever had. It was about dying. Just some minutes ago I remembered the lyrics of this song.
So yeah, I can say I relate to them. |

1 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal The song just rocks! But I can't tell what the last line says. "Enlargen your world." Is that suppose to be "enlarge" or "enlarged?" |

1 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal As my frst post i'm proud that it is for this song. this song may be sad, and some may find it unhealthy to believe in and love this song. but all things considered i think that it comes down to the fact that the truth hurts, the world is pure madness. |
