Mad World
J.T. and The Big Family Lyrics

All around me are familiar faces
I am surrounded by people I know well

Worn out places, worn out faces
These people and their environment appear tired and exhausted

Bright and early for their daily races
They enthusiastically participate in their daily routines

Going nowhere, going nowhere
However, their efforts lead them nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
They are overwhelmed with sadness and their tears are pouring

No expression, no expression
They show no emotion on their faces

Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow
I want to conceal myself and escape from the pain I feel

No tomorrow, no tomorrow
There is no hope for a better future

And I find it kinda funny
To me, it's somewhat ironic

I find it kinda sad
But at the same time, it's quite melancholic

The dreams in which I'm dying
The dreams where I experience death

Are the best I've ever had
Weirdly enough, these dreams are my most cherished

I find it hard to tell you
It's difficult for me to express to you

I find it hard to take
I struggle to cope with

When people run in circles
When people engage in repetitive, pointless actions

It's a very, very mad world, mad world
It's a truly chaotic and insane world we live in

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Kids eagerly anticipate the day when they will experience happiness

Happy birthday, happy birthday
They associate their joy with their birthdays

And I feel the way that every child should
I feel the same excitement and happiness as any child should

Sit and listen, sit and listen
They patiently sit and pay attention

Went to school and I was very nervous
When I went to school, I felt extremely anxious

No one knew me, no one knew me
I was an unfamiliar face, unknown to anyone

Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
I asked my teacher to guide me in understanding my purpose

Look right through me, look right through me
But my teacher ignored me, not acknowledging my existence

Mad world
A world filled with madness

Mad world
A world filled with madness
