Paroles
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 ’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 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
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
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
Enlarging your world
Mad world

Troisième single de l’album « The Hurting », c’est le premier succès du groupe Outre-Manche et à l’international, on retrouve sur cet opus, les singles « Suffer the Children », « Pale Shelter (You Don’t Give me Love) » et « Change ».
Cet album a été certifié disque d’Or en France pour plus de 100.000 exemplaires mais seulement à partir de 1985, après la sortie chez nous de « Shout », chanson qui fera découvrir au grand public le groupe en France.
Pour l’anecdote, Nicola Sirkis, leader d’Indochine, a fait une reprise de « Mad World’ sur son album solo « Dans la lune » sorti en 1992.
