The Enemy - Serious Lyrics

The Enemy 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 smile
You exist in a shadow, afraid of the day
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?
