Does anyone know who sings the song "all around me are familiar faces..." in the "Gears of War" commercial?

ITS MAD world by Gary Jules





All around me are familiar faces


Worn out places, worn out faces


Bright and early for their daily races


Going nowhere, going nowhere


Their tears are filling up their glasses


No expression, no expression


Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow


No tomorrow, no tomorrow





And I find it kinda funny


I find it kinda 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


It's a very, very mad world mad world





Children 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 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


Look right through me, look right through me





And I find it kinda funny


I find it kinda 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


It's a very, very mad world ... world


Enlarge your world


Mad world

"Mad World" - Michael Andrews
Reply:The song is indeed called "Mad World" it was originally written/performed by the band Tears for Fears as a much more upbeat 80's synth pop number, then remade by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules into the depressing (but great) version you hear on the commercial. Also available on the soundtrack for the movie "Donnie Darko" which, if you havn't seen, go out and get right now.
