Questa cover di una canzone dei Tears for Fears l’ho sentita per la prima volta nel film Donnie Darko (2001). Quindi è stata ripresa in molti altri serial (ricordo di averla sentita anche in ‘Jericho’, ad esempio).
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, Worn out facesBright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, Going nowhereTheir tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, No expressionHide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, No tomorrowAnd 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, Mad worldChildren waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, Happy birthdayMade to feel the way that every child should
Sit down and listen, Sit down and listenWent to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, No one knew meHello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me, Look right through meAnd 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, Mad world
enlarged in your world
Mad world
