please help me with this song

I'm sorry to be so vague but the lyrics go something like"familiar faces, worn out places". In the states here it is on the commercial for the new video game Gear Wars. I think it was also on an episode of CSI. Any help woukd be appreciated. Thanks.
 
The song is "Mad World" originally done by Tears For Fears. I think you're thinking of the Gary Jules version; it was used in the film "Donnie Darko"... ;)
 
That'd be Tears for Fears 1983 song "Mad World" which was also covered by another artist, that's appeared on some TV shows.. Jules something. Here are the lyrics.


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 tommorow, no tommorow
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
