This song is so powerful, sends shivers through me
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 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 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 Enlarging your world Mad world

I know what you mean R, sometimes I am speechless and cannot think of anything except is it at all possible to stop the terrible impact of the cruelty of humans towards nature, animals and other humans. Is it, that is the big question?

That is a big question Biggs, I think let's work on ourselves first - step by step.
When this song is added onto a video like the following it does make you think we live in a mad world run by mad forces.

His version seems to fit better with the current issue`s at hand If I`m not mistaken Adam Lambert sang this version on American Idol last year

Always got the dance floor filled when they put that Video up on the screen other bands that were around the same time that filled the floor were Wham , Simple Minds , The Boss. Ah those were the days when they had all the corporate take overs and money flowed like water

Blondie, David Bowe, Depeche Mode, Boy George with his Culture club..... I could go on and on. I loved the analog synth sounds
