It's time for a journey back in time to before Gary Jules covered "Mad World". The song was originally written as a much less depressing sounding New Wave song by the English band Tears for Fears.

Following my earlier Rock Cover of EmberDash's "Mad Mares": youtube.com/watch?v=VY2S9_NY_lM

I thought it was time to give the original style a try, and this was the result... Enjoy!

Lyrics:
All around me are familiar ponies
All so crazy, all so crazy
Started out with just my good intentions
getting nowhere, getting nowhere

Ponyville is filling up with laughter
a disaster, a disaster
Dunk my head into a pool of mirrors
getting nearer, getting nearer

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The copies I created, are far more than I had planned
I don't know how to tell you, don't think you'll understand
When pinkies run in numbers it's a very, very
Mad world, mad world

All I sought was to have fun with my friends
Now it's crazy, now it's crazy
haven't got a clue, how to make amends
watch the paint dry, watch the paint dry

One by one they're judged and banished for good,
Pay attention, pay attention.
By the end who is the real Pinkie?
No one knows now, no one knows now

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The copies I created, are far more than I had planned
I don't know how to tell you, don't think you'll understand
When pinkies run in numbers it's a very, very
Mad world, mad world

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The copies I created, are far more than I had planned
I don't know how to tell you, don't think you'll understand
When pinkies run in numbers its a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Fun, fun, fun, fun...
