Mad World (American Idol Performance) All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Going nowhere with the daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere 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 Cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very very mad world I 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 Cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very very mad world Mad world Mad world Mad world
