Why So Serious?

I don't care if you find me offensive
Getting all defensive is a waste of precious time
I'm inclined to be a little apprehensive
When you tell me that I'm outta my mind
I've been working hard so long to avoid the grave of your expectations
Cut the noose, it's time to misbehave
It's emancipation!
Why so serious?
Knuckle down and dig a little deeper
Living for the weekend's gonna rot your state of mind
Are you blind?
Don't hide, be the seeker!
It's up to you to leave the bullshit behind
We could carry on like this 'til the end of days
In a mass delusion
Or stoke the fire and fan the flames of the revolution!
Are you ready for more?
Are you living a lie?
Are you satisfied?
Why so serious?
Don't play the hostage to the 'ifs' and 'buts' and 'maybes'
They will drive you crazy if you let 'em bring you down to your knees
Over-thinking and fear will keep you lazy
But indecision is a fucking disease
We could lose years in days, living life in a haze
Glory Hallelujah!
But in the end who is it that truly pays?
Don't let your troubles rule ya!
Are you ready for more?
Are you living a lie?
Are you satisfied?
Why so serious?

Bad Blood
04:52

It cuts like a nail
Straight to the bone
An old, tired tale
That sinks like a stone
Gone with the sand
Falling again
Fading as clockwork steals all time away
I've been lost in my head for so long
Lost all sense of what's right and what's wrong
Swept away by a sea of bad blood
And I'm drowning now (drowning now)
All this venom is bad for the brain
Is it me or the world that's insane?
Treading water is leaving me numb
And I'm drowning now (drowning now)
History remains
Written in scars
No two the same
All torn apart
It stings like a whisper
Sewn through the heart
Making a wish to go back to the start
I've been lost in my head for so long
Lost all sense of what's right and what's wrong
Swept away by a sea of bad blood
And I'm drowning now (drowning now)
All this venom is bad for the brain
Is it me or the world that's insane?
Treading water is leaving me numb
And I'm drowning now (drowning now)
Gave up on karma
Keener on sin
Those gambling fortune
So rarely win
Swallowed by darkness
Lost a good name
Poison now swimming 'round every vein
All this venom is bad for the brain
Is it me or the world that's insane?
Treading water is leaving me numb
And I'm drowning now (drowning now)
Drowning now (drowning now)
Drowning now (drowning now)
Drowning now, oh!

You can break your mould
Question all you're told
Redefine your mind
Or simply sell your soul
When it's said and done
What will you become?
The bullet or the gun?
The bullet or the gun?
One day you'll be dead
Get that in your head
And live the life you choose
Nothing is permanent
There's no such thing as risk
Only chances missed
So give your fate a twist
Give your fate a twist!
You're a fool to play the game
They will blind you
They'll make you think you're insane
So take another drink
And don't forget to blink
As every new idea
Is lost in doublethink
Buy and sell your time
There is no rewind
You're not one of a kind
You're not one of a kind!
You're a fool to play the game
They will blind you
They'll make you think you're insane
Do they know what you're thinking?
(Do they know what you're thinking?)
They know what you're thinking
They know what you're thinking...
