Man’s thirst for knowledge, would inevitably cause a thirst that would prove to be unquenchable. Somehow, we lost our grip on love itself. Floating away into the abyss, we embarked on a journey of our own. The quest for fulfillment and happiness. Carving out a path that we see fit. Striving to be the authors of our own faith and destiny. Off to the daily races, going nowhere. What a mad world we’ve created.

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 wanna drown my sorrow

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 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 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

Enlarging your world

Mad world
