"Mad World" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears. Written by Roland Orzabal and sung by bassist Curt Smith, it was the band's third single release and first chart hit, reaching #3 on the UK Singles Chart in November 1982. Both "Mad World" and its B-side, "Ideas As Opiates", would turn up on the band's debut LP The Hurting the following year. The song would eventually become Tears for Fears' first international hit, reaching the Top 40 in several countries between 1982 and 1983.
Nearly two decades later, the song made a popular resurgence when it was covered in a much slower, ballad-like style by composers Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the soundtrack to the movie Donnie Darko. This version reached #1 in the UK in December 2003, and became an international hit." from wiki link above
Lyrics:
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where Going no where Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression No expression Hide my head I wanna 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 I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its 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
ook 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 its a very very
Mad world Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world

A somewhat similar song is from Zero 7:
In the Waiting line
lyrics:
Wait in line 'Till your time Ticking clock Everyone stop Everyone's saying different things to me Different things to me Everyone's saying different things to me Different things to me
Woooohh Do you believe In what you see There doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me
Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel Nothing is real Wasting my time In the waiting line Do you believe in What you seeNine to five
Living lies
Everyday Stealing time Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can
Woooohh Do you believe In what you feel It doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me
Do you believe In what you see Motionless wheel Nothing is real Wasting my time In the waiting line
Do you believe In what you see Ah and I'll shout and I'll scream
But I'd rather not be seen
And I'll hide away for another day
Do you believe In what you see Motionless wheel Nothing is real Wasting my time In the waiting line
Do you believe In what you see
Everyone's saying different things to me Different things to me Different things to me Different things to me
Different things to me Everyone's taking everything they can Everything they can
