Gary Jules: Mad World

All around me are familiar faces

……………….
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
……………….
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
……………….
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
……………….
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
……………….

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
……………….
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
……………….
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

Gary Jules: Mad World

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their 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 kinda funny
I find it kinda 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 kinda funny
I find it kinda 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

Setting and sticking to a budget is a good way to see where your money goes, but tracking every little thing can be daunting. That’s one reason many people give up on their budgets. It’s easier to stick to a plan if you start small, say, with lunch. You might be surprised at just how much people spend on this mid-day meal. Making a few key changes can save you big money and you won’t go hungry, either.
