"Mad World" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears. Written by Roland Orzabal and sung by bassist Curt Smith, it was the band's third single release and first chart hit, reaching #3 on the UK Singles Chart in November 1982. Both "Mad World" and its B-side, "Ideas As Opiates", would turn up on the band's debut LP The Hurting the following year. The song would eventually become Tears for Fears' first international hit, reaching the Top 40 in several countries between 1982 and 1983.

"Mad World" would achieve a second round of success beginning almost twenty years later, after it was covered by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the film Donnie Darko (2001). While the Tears for Fears version featured various synthesizers and percussion, the Andrews/Jules version was stripped down; instead of a full musical backing, it used only a set of piano chords, a cello, and modest use of a vocoder on the chorus. Their version was originally released on CD in 2002 on the film's soundtrack, but an increasing cult following spawned by the movie's DVD release finally prompted Jules and Andrews to issue the song as a proper single. The release was a runaway success in late 2003, becoming the Number One single over the Christmas holiday in the UK, a feat Tears for Fears themselves never accomplished. The music video, directed by Michel Gondry, has since been very popular on YouTube, with its most popular posting garnering over 27 million views as of November 2, 2010(see this link.). It is included on the DVD compilation Michel Gondry 2: More Videos (Before and After DVD 1). The song was later included in the commercial to the video game Gears of War.

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 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, 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.
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 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, I find it hard to take.
When people run in circles it's a very, very...

Mad world.
Enlargen your world.
Mad world.

Never believe a liar because a Liar does not just tell lies, they twist the truth. As children they either told the truth, or a lie and neither worked. So mentally they have mashed the two together, two worlds into one very real for them. But FAKE. Not real. Distorted.
