Even if you'd like to be
To them, you're just a freak
It's a bad joke
Dropped at the first sign of trouble
They're only as food
as the world allows them to be
I'll show you
When the chips are down
These, uh
These civilized people?
They'll eat each other
See, I'm not a monster
I'm just ahead of the curve

Why so serious?
See, I'm not a monster

Me watching
He takes the knife to her
Laughing while he does it
He turns to me, and he says
Why so serious?

You wanna know how I got these scars?
My father was a drinker
And a fiend
And one night
Me watching
He takes the knife to her
Laughing while he does it
He turns to me, and he says
Why so serious?
Why so serious?
Why so serious?
