What's the name of that R.E.M. song that is on the new commercial for that video game?

I can't think of the name of the video game.





The song has some lyrics about "familiar places, familiar faces" in it...

What's the name of that R.E.M. song that is on the new commercial for that video game?
"Mad World" by Gary Jules maybe?





All around me are familiar faces


Worn out places, worn out faces


Bright and early for their daily races


Going nowhere, going nowhere


And 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 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


'Cos I find it hard to take


When people run in circles


It's a very, very


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
Reply:"Mad World" was originally written and recorded by Tears For Fears in the early 1980's. I also thought that REM did that remake... the vocalist sounds a lot like Michael Stipe.
Reply:I was gonna ask this very question myself, but wasn't sure if it was REM or not.....good question!
Reply:The commercial is for Gears of War. The song is "Mad World" by Gary Jules.
