Mad World was writen by a band called Tears for Fears and it was originally a more upbeat trance-dance song. When the movie "Donny Darko" came out, a musician named Gary Jules created a melodic, slower piano version of the song, and just this year, American Idol runner up Adam Lambert performed this song in the style of Gary Jules which got a standing ovation from judge Simon Cowell.
Mad World:
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out spaces
Worn out places
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
And their tears 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 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
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
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
Awesome, as per usual. :')
