artist: tears for fears

album: the hurting



all around me are familiar faces

worn out places, worn out faces

bright and early for their daily races

going nowehere, going nowhere

and their rears are filling up their glasses

no expression, no expression

hide my head i want to drown my sorrow

no tomorrow, no tomorrow



and i find it kind of funny

i find it kind of sad

the dream in which i'm dying

are the best i've ever had

i find it hard to tell you

'cos i find it hard to take

when people run in circles

it's a very very

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



and i find it kind of funny

i find it kind of sad

the dream in which i'm dying

are the best i've ever had

i find it hard to tell you

'cos i find it hard to take

when people run in circles

it's a very very

mad world...



(solo)

and i find it kind of funny

i find it kind of sad

the dream in which i'm dying

are the best i've ever had

i find it hard to tell you

'cos i find it hard to take

when people run in circles

it's a very very

mad world...
