[00:03.90] "Oh, criminals in this town used to believe in things. Honor. Respect.
[00:07.30] Look at you! What do you believe in, huh? "
[00:09.80] "WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN?"
[00:13.50] "I believe whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you... stranger."
[00:53.80] Good evening ladies and gentlemen
[00:57.00] We are tonight's entertainment
[01:01.50] How about a magic trick?
[01:05.00] I'm gonna make this pencil disappear
[01:09.80] You see, I'm a guy of simple taste
[01:13.70] I enjoy dynamite and gunpowder and gasoline
[01:17.20] You have all these rules and you think they'll save you
[01:21.80] No, you need an ace in the hole
[01:26.40] (Freak)
[01:27.00] You wanna know how I got these scars?
[01:29.00] My father was a drinker and a fiend
[01:31.00] And one night he goes off crazier than usual
[01:35.00] Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself
[01:37.00] He doesn't like that (not one bit)
[01:39.00] So, me watching, he takes the knife to her
[01:41.50] laughing while he does it
[01:43.65] He turns to me and says
[01:46.30] (why so serious?)
[01:47.80] Comes at me with the knife
[01:50.30] (why so serious?)
[01:51.40] He sticks the blade in my mouth
[01:55.70] Let's put a smile on that face
[01:58.60] And why so serious?
[02:00.00] (Look at me)
[02:02.60] Why so serious?
[02:04.00] (You're crazy)
[02:06.80] I'm not. No, I'm not.
[02:08.60] (Look at me)
[02:10.80] Why so serious?
[02:12.00] (You're crazy)
[02:14.90] This city deserves a better class of criminal
[02:17.00] And I'm gonna give it to them
[02:52.10] Do I really look like a guy with a plan?
[02:56.00] You know what I am? I am a dog chasing cars
[03:00,00] I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it
[03:04.35] You know, I just do things
[03:08.50] duce a little anarchy
[03:12.35] Come on I want you to do it, I want you to do it
[03:16.60] You have nothing, nothing to threaten me with
[03:20.70] If you're good at something never do it for free
[03:25.40] (Freak)
[03:26.00] Oh, you look nervous, is it the scars?
[03:28.00] You want to know how I got 'em?
[03:29.80] So I had a wife and she was
[03:32.00] beautiful like you
[03:34.30] Who tells me I worry too much, who tells me I ought to smile more
[03:36.30] Who gambles and gets in deep with the sharks
[03:37.80] One day they carve her face and we have no money
[03:39.80] For surgeries, she can't take it
[03:42.00] I just want to see her smile again, I just want her to know that
[03:46.00] I don't care about the scars. So, I stick a razor in my mouth
[03:50.00] (And do this)
[03:51.00] To myself and you know what?
[03:53.80] She can't stand the sight of me
[03:54.80] (she leaves)
[03:55.00] Now I see the funny side
[03:57.00] Now I'm always smiling
[03:58.90] (Look at me)
[04:01.50] Why so serious?
[04:03.00] (You're crazy)
[04:05.80] I'm not. No, I'm not.
[04:07.00] (Look at me)
[04:09.70] Why so serious?
[04:11.30] (You're crazy)
[04:14.00] This city deserves a better class of criminal
[04:16.00] And I'm gonna give it to them
[04:19.00] Let's put a smile on that face
[04:37.50] Come on
[04:54.55] Don't talk like one of them, you're not
[04:56.50] Even if you'd like to be
[04:58.50] To them you're just a freak like me
[05:02.50] They need you right now
[05:04.00] But when they don't they'll cast you out
[05:07.70] Like a leper
[05:10.00] You see
[05:14.00] Their morals
[05:18.00] Their code
[05:22.00] It's a bad joke
[05:25.00] I'm just ahead of the curve
[06:18.40] (Look at me)
[06:21.00] Why so serious?
[06:22.20] (You're crazy)
[06:25.00] I'm not. No, I'm not.
[06:26.70] (Look at me)
[06:29.10] Why so serious?
[06:30.70] (You're crazy)
[06:33.20] This city deserves a better class of criminal
[06:35.50] And I'm gonna give it to them
