Lyrics

Serious

Why's it gotta be so serious, serious?
Everybody's acting so serious, serious
How'd it ever get so serious, serious?
Why's it gotta be so serious, serious?

You're so bitter, so hatefully gray
Duller than dishwater, and painfully vain
You must frown in the mirror to practice your disdain
I don't understand why you'd wanna live that way

Why's it gotta be so serious, serious?
Everybody's acting so serious, serious
How'd it ever get so serious, serious?
Why's it gotta be so serious, serious?

You're so sour, consistently vile
Always cantankerous, devoid of a smilе
You exist in a shadow, afraid of the day
I don't understand why you'd wanna livе that way

Why's it gotta be so serious, serious?
Everybody's acting so serious, serious
How'd it ever get so serious, serious?
Why's it gotta be so serious, serious?
