Mad World

[BreakfastSurreal]

I didn't write this, this is a song originally done by Tears for Fears. But the words are important and I love the song. So I'm posting this

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And 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 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
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
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

i own it. but its still wrapped for some reason. I've seen it plenty of times but haven't watched it since I bought it! lol. I love a lot of the darker roles that Jake Gyllenhall plays. Anyone seen The Good Girl? With Jennifer Anniston and him? He plays psychopaths really well.
