Why so Serious? |
| «Oh, criminals in this town used to believe in things. |
| Honor. |
| Respect. |
| Look at you! |
| What do you believe in, huh? |
| WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN?» |
| «I believe whatever doesn’t kill you, simply makes you… stranger.» |
| Good evening ladies and gentlemen |
| We are tonight’s entertainment |
| How about a magic trick? |
| I’m gonna make this pencil disappear |
| You see, I’m a guy of simple taste |
| I enjoy dynamite and gunpowder and gasoline |
| You have all these rules and you think they’ll save you |
| No, you need an ace in the hole |
| (Freak) |
| You wanna know how I got these scars? |
| My father was a drinker and a fiend |
| And one night he goes off |
| crazier than usual |
| Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself |
| He doesn’t like that (not one bit) |
| So, me watching, he takes the knife to her |
| laughing while he does it |
| He turns to me and says (why so serious?) |
| Comes at me with the knife (why so serious?) |
| He sticks the blade in my mouth |
| Let’s put a smile on that face |
| And why so serious? |
| (Look at me) |
| Why so serious? |
| (You're crazy) |
| I’m not. |
| No, I’m not. |
| (Look at me) |
| Why so serious? |
| (You're crazy) |
| This city deserves a better class of criminal |
| And I’m gonna give it to them |
| Do I really look like a guy with a plan? |
| You know what I am? |
| I am a dog chasing cars |
| I wouldn’t know what to do with one if I caught it |
| You know, I just do things |
| duce a little anarchy |
| Come on I want you to do it, I want you to do it |
| You have nothing, nothing to threaten me with |
| If you’re good at something never do it for free |
| (Freak) |
| Oh, you look nervous, is it the scars? |
| You want to know how I got 'em? |
| So I had a wife and she was |
| beautiful like you |
| Who tells me I worry too much, who tells me I ought to smile more |
| Who gambles and gets in deep with the sharks |
| One day they carve her face and we have no money |
| For surgeries, she can’t take it |
| I just want to see her smile again, I just want her to know that |
| I don’t care about the scars. |
| So, I stick a razor in my mouth |
| (And do this) to myself and you know what? |
| She can’t stand the sight of me (she leaves) |
| Now I see the funny side |
| Now I’m always smiling |
| (Look at me) |
| Why so serious? |
| (You're crazy) |
| I’m not. |
| No, I’m not. |
| (Look at me) |
| Why so serious? |
| (You're crazy) |
| This city deserves a better class of criminal |
| And I’m gonna give it to them |
| Let’s put a smile on that face |
| Come on |
| Don’t talk like one of them, you’re not |
| Even if you’d like to be |
| To them you’re just a freak like me |
| They need you right now |
| But when they don’t they’ll cast you out |
| Like a leper |
| You see |
| Their morals |
| Their code |
| It’s a bad joke |
| I’m just ahead of the curve |
| (Look at me) |
| Why so serious? |
| (You're crazy) |
| I’m not. |
| No, I’m not. |
| (Look at me) |
| Why so serious? |
| (You're crazy) |
| This city deserves a better class of criminal |
| And I’m gonna give it to them |
