It's a mad world

Beautiful beautiful song. Must listen...
Thanks Zyborg!! :)


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 ... mad world
Enlarge your world
Mad world

Madam Phoenix I would say something and that is that running in circles seems pointless and utterly amusing when we see dogs do so but as us we love doing that as well...
young to be old and then other way around...
I know you would be aware of this and that I have just crapped this space but you did say something na...
I just serve to please...
Get your Hands on NIGHT by ELIE WIESEL you would owe me one if you havent read it and I have introduced you... I can promise...

hmmm Good one

But I think we don't have many choices, and we have to go round and round looking for betterment, looking for happiness, looking for satisfaction.....
