[size=300]                                [/size][size=300]MAD WORLD                                  [/size]All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhereAnd their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrowAnd 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 Cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very Mad WorldChildren 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 listenWent 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 [size=300]                 THE SOUND OF SILENCE[/size] Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone ?Neath the halo of a streetlamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share No one dare Disturb the sound of silence ?Fools? said I, ?You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you? But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said ?The words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence?
