Mad World Lyrics

Send "Mad World" Ringtone to your Cell

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 kinda funny, I find it kinda 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
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 kinda funny, I find it kinda 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 . . . world
Enlarge your world
Mad world

It's not often that I here a cover tune that is better than the original. but I have to say that Tears for Fears disco of this song didn't have a clue. I'm a Nam vet and yes. those are the best dreams I've ever had. This version is as it should have been in the first place.

the original tears for fears version is not as dark a song as the rearanged version by Michael Andrews and sung by Gary Jules.excellent feel.there are two versions by gary jules.one from the movie and the alternate with full compliment of instruments.

Donnie didnt only save gretchen he saved the world. Some would say gretchen is just a pawn in the greater sceme of things but was what made donnie go back and ultimetly save the world. She was killed to make sure the world was put back on cours by donnie.
Great song, great movie

the song its great i loved it long before I even saw the movie, or know anything about it for that matters.

i think the hole point of the story is that he gets to choose who dies, and he chooses himself!
DRSbri 30/04/2006 20:29:55
Wow. I've never read those lyrics before. I've heard the song but never knew what it was saying. My god do they hit home. Those lyrics totally hit me. They ARE me. I feel sad now...oh well. much love

On Donny Darko but here in NZ its also on an ad showing how people die at easter time. Very Very Sad.
Common_ppl 05/04/2006 13:10:29
The song fits in, the contrast of the sound is great with the chaos of the film
Lithrill 01/04/2006 19:07:06
Donnie goes back in time. Donnie dies, and have never met Gretchen. Heres whats cute. He dies, because he goes back in time. He does that because of her. If he don't go back in time, she will die instead of her. He is willing to die for her, because he loves her. Thats cute...I'm a girl, things like that is what us girls think is cute ;P

Oh and one things bothering me, how is this "cute once you get the point of the movie"?

Indeed it is an intelligent and intrueging film. Infact the film is one of my obsessions, I've spent many, many hours watching it over and over, researching on the net and whatnot. Hell, I've even read "the Philosophy of Time Travel". And I have come to the conclusion that this is not a cute story.

It is... unexplainable, it's something that sticks with you it's something that just is part of you and yet you can't name the feeling it gives you. Somewhere in between of despair and hope, I guess.
Lumikuningatar 30/03/2006 17:51:35
Sometimes I'm afraid that you'll tell me that this is not a work of fiction. I can only hope that the answers will come to me in my sleep. I hope, that when the world really does come to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief... Because there will be so oo much to be looking forward to.
Lithrill 28/03/2006 10:54:22
It´s cute once you get the point in the movie....But hey, not everybody can understand the intelligence in the film. And oh, WHY du people tend to think Gary Jules wrote this song? If people catch thing song in the movie Donnie Darko, they should pay enough attention to see that this is a Tears For Fears song...Rolan Orzabal is still the composer of this song, and hey, newsflash, Roland was one of the founders of the group Teras For Fears, and Gary Jules had him as one of his idols....Stupid Baish!
MegBel 11/03/2006 17:12:06
hearing someone say that donnie darko was a CUTE movie made me throw up a little ... love this lyrics to this song btw
Lithrill 19/02/2006 00:35:15
"You're weird"
"Sorry" *looking down*
"No, it's a good thing" *smile*

Donnie Darko is the cutest movie I've ever seen, and I just can't help it, I just love the soundtrack...It's just...Perfrect I think....
XxRock_N_RollerxX 10/02/2006 18:12:25
This is one of the deepest songs I've ever heard, and if you haven't seen Donnie Darko make sure you do.
Bethy 05/01/2006 18:40:12
I think this a dark depressing song and I also think It's great, it fits in with how I feel at the moment
nirvana4ever 23/12/2005 15:09:32
I dont know what to say about this song. Its a little odd. It was on the beginning of CSI: Las Vegas last night and its on Donnie Darko. Both depressing and strangly entertaining. Its a pretty good song.****
