| «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 |
