Taxonomy upgrade extras:
I don't know where this came from but the lyrics with some slight modifications are in italics
All around me are familiar faces the worn out places for those worn out faces. Bright and early for the daily races that are going nowhere
The song running through my head reminds me that there are just things we do and there doesn't seem to be any reason for them to be done. As I walk through the streets I see everyone walking around like drones. It seems like life has gotten to be just like a repeated event for everyone. We get up, go to work, go home then go to sleep to do it all over again.
The tears filling up their glasses with no expression I hide my head cause I wanna drown my sorrow cause there's no tomorrow
I try to hide these strange feelings I have had almost all my life but there are times where the feelings threaten to overflow my little dam that I have erected to hide myself away. Does anyone else have feelings like this or am I the only one?
I find it kind of funny, find it kinda sad, the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. I find it kind to tell you I find it hard to take, the people running in circles is a very, very Mad World... Mad world
All we seem to see on the news nowadays is the dark and depressing, someone died due to someone else being stupid...
Children waiting for the day they feel good crappy birthday, happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen
Trying to get back to being happy it seems like just to much work to do.
Went to school and I was very nervous No one saw me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me, what's my lesson? Look right through me, look right through me.
When I was in school I felt like a Non-entity, it was like everyone could forget me even if I were in all their classes with them. Nobody seemed to want to be a friend, they just wanted to make my life a living hell.
I find it kind of funny, find it kinda sad, the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. I find it kind to tell you I find it hard to take, the people running in circles is a very, very Mad World... Mad world enlarging your world

Mad World
I remember when the song first came out and I think anyone in their teens or early twenties can identify with the lyrics. I still think Tears for Fears did it best, but then they wrote it. I didn't think REM did a bad job, I just think they made it much more maudlin than it was to begin with.
I don't just look it, I'm totally a New Romantic throwback
Yet another teen movie???
....my therapist and I kid about this (kid?) I liken my high school existences to just what you wrote here:

As if I was one of the extras in those teen movies; the kid in the extreme background shuffling down the hall added to fill out the scene; added for the benefit of the shot. Paid attention to merely because I got in someone else' way. Truly all too familiar feeling. You definitely have company, and I'm sure Dorothy and I aren't the only ones.
Dio vi benedica tutti

Mad World (memories that the lyrics bring back)
Me, when was in school, I knew that I was different and to me, the world was mad, not me. But now I wonder how those lyrics will affect today's kids.
