El monitor d’aquagym -sí, sí, aquesta activitat genial per als qui ja tenim  canes- ens ha posat avui la cançó Mad world per relaxar-nos després de la gimnàstica a la piscina.
L’original és dels Tears for Fears, però la va popularitzar Gary Jules a la banda sonora de la pel·lícula Donnie Darko i en el videojoc Gears of War.
El vídeo oficial de la cançó apareix a la web del propi Jules i la lletra us la deixo a continuació.
Veureu que una de les estrofes diu «sit and listen». Així que asseieu-vos i escolteu.

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 I 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 new me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
And I find I 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
