Why so serious
Who convened on the convention
And told us to resist the hearts we have
As if the hearts we have aren’t good enough for them
Who are they to judge what’s within us
Who are they do hand down such punishment
And who are they to dress themselves better
When all they’ve got are gray hairs and numbers higher than our own
We may not know when to call it quits
But we do that this is the only life we’ve got
And we won’t waste it on issues we disagree with
Said, we won’t waste it worrying about tomorrow
Raise my glass of Jack and Coke
Raise this liquid of illusion in hopes that you will remember
The way we were a quarter of our lives ago
When we were so young and naïve
Thought we had everything
When we possessed absolutely nothing
Other than the moment and each other
Reasons, I don’t have for such stupidity
But I won’t take the blame completely on
Cause who’s to say what we did was wrong
If it taught us how to get it right next time around
Such depth is getting my mind nowhere
Other than a headache and slightly numb
So, just tell me why
Why so serious
Why so serious
Cause, I just want to see you laugh
I just want to see you laugh until tears well in your eyes
And until your cheeks hurt from smiling so wide
