TEARS FOR FEARS


Mad World Lyrics

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Goin' nowhere, goin' nowhere
Their tears are fillin' 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 dreams in which I'm dyin'
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

Children waitin' 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 dreams in which I'm dyin'
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

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
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
Enlarge your world
Mad world

This song is amazing. So amazing that I made a 2012 cover featuring a female vocalist. Check it out, I'm giving it away as a free download: www . paulloeb . net

I always thought covers satisfied the ego of the singer but showed a lack of creativity, there's something sad about that. Thou MW's reinvet'n for film gave it credence and appreciate both versions.

The Tears for Fears original is angry and sarcastic. The Gary Jules cover is contemplative and sober. Both versions have different moods that make sense in their own contexts.

If you watch Donnie Darko and see how the song is used in that context, the cover makes a lot more sense.

Heii, if people listened to the song they wouldn't be saying that the lyrics are great 'cause on this it says that 'mad world' is said four times when it isn't, so whoever corrected them LIES xx

I like Adam Lambert's version the best. All due respect for Gary Jules AND Tears for Fears, but I thought Adam's was so much more emotional.

This Version by Tears for Fears is much more better than the Gary Joules. Although the Gary Joules version is ok too.
