[Verse 1] My words are sharp as a knife My jokes don't always land But none of us are getting out alive So why pretend? You're standing in a fire drill Still worried 'bout the crowd Everything is burning And you're trying to look proud [Chorus] Why so serious? Why the long faces? Why are you playing This weird adult game? You're so boring Where's your sense of humor? You think I'm the crazy one— Baby, it's you. [Verse 2] Bills on the table Pizza on the floor Three new hyperfixations Maybe even four Sleep is just a rumor Coffee pays the rent Every bad decision Somehow made good content [Chorus] Why so serious? Why the long faces? Why are you playing This weird adult game? You're so boring Where's your sense of humor? You think I'm the crazy one— Baby, it's you. [Outro] You stopped being weird Just to call yourself grown You say, “Act your age.” I say, “Which one?” You call it immature I call it staying alive. Life's a circus anyway— I'm just the clown who bought a crown.
