I Find It Hard To Tell You

Gary Jules "Mad World" Listen | Buy

NOTES: Even Roland Orzabal from Tears for Fears, who did the original version of "Mad World," has admitted that Gary Jules' cover is superior. This song was included in the movie Donnie Darko, which you must see immediately if you have not already (RIGHT, BEN?). I'll be buying the director's cut of the DVD tomorrow for my birthday.

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I wanna 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
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
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world
