lyrics

Why so serious?
People acting like its the end of the world
What the hell is wrong with them?
What can we do what can we say to make a difference this time
Bad boys on the rocks again it's no surprise
Bad boys on the rocks again its in his eyes
The rope is round his neck but the rope is all frayed
Turns around and looks at you, smiling while his singing

Wait
I'm alright
I've danced with devils in the pale moonlight
I'm alright
I've danced with devils in the pale moonlight
Why so serious?

Why so serious?
People acting like they are only three words
What the hell do they know and
What can we do what can we say to save you from yourself
You can say you mean it and you dont know why
You can say you mean it but you compromise
The rope is round his neck but the rope is all frayed
This is my town now he says and we're not going to listen to him

Wait
I'm alright
I've danced with devils in the pale moonlight
I'm alright
I've danced with devils in the pale moonlight
Why so serious?
