Mad World este o melodie a trupei britanice Tears for Fears, scrisa de Roland Orzabal si interpretata de basistul Curt Smith, lansata la 20 septembrie 1982. Melodia a devenit primul hit international al trupei Tears for Fears, ajungand in Top 40 in cateva tari intre 1982 si 1983.
Aproape doua decenii mai tarziu, cantecul a avut o revenire populara cand a fost reinterpretat intr-un stil mult mai lent, asemanator unei balade de catre compozitorii Michael Andrews si Gary Jules pentru coloana sonora a filmului Donnie Darko (2001). Aceasta versiune a ajuns nr.1 in Marea Britanie in decembrie 2003, si a devenit un hit international.
Mad world
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrows
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 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
May they 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
Mad world, Mad world
