[Intro]
All you really need is one poor day
When you can't take anymore that comes your way
Dig deep, don't hide, go and show your face
Let them know they will never ever hold your rage

[Verse 1]
Let me introduce the mad man - Arthur Fleck
Full of diabolical laughs and hard regrets
'Cause my life is going like I got no karma left
Should I end it all and counteract the harm with death
Try to cut out the pain, when I carve the flesh
Then I realized, long as I'm armed with breath
I could be the clown prince, I can hone my craft
I can see the glass half full, own the laugh
All I needed was a chance, and you couldn't give me that
So I made some other plans for you Gotham City rats
Dirty as the city streets infestation
All they needed was the man with the inclination
I am that man, and the one percent
Will bow to those who don't have a cent for rent
Will bow to those who won't settle for content
And bow to me 'cause I am the man who leapt

[Chorus]
All you really need is one poor day
When you can't take anymore that comes your way
Dig deep, don't hide, go and show your face
Let them know they will never ever hold your rage
Hold your days and smile
Don't let anybody know your pain, just smile
Don't let anybody know your lane, just smile
Grab a whole of anarchy and turn up the tile
[Verse 2]
Murray Franklin had a laugh at my expense
Got on national television and lashed me to the press
What a tragic misstep, a damnable offense
Would it be irrational to put a bullet through his chest? No
Gotham City, man, it pushed me to the edge
Got a mother I care for that pushed me to the ledge
Got a job that I can't do, I failed as a comedian
That's why I wear the makeup, I blend like a chameleon
'Cause they are all clowns, I embody what I see, and then
Hit 'em with a truth like a car into the median
And everybody that I deem of being disobedient
Will end up with a round from the clown faced deviant
Then I'm coming for the Waynes - Gotham's symbol
Of everything that's wrong, and the cure is simple
I will rise up, I am fears composer
Taking over, Arthur became the Joker

[Chorus]
All you really need is one poor day
When you can't take anymore that comes your way
Dig deep, don't hide, go and show your face
Let them know they will never ever hold your rage
Hold your days and smile
Don't let anybody know your pain, just smile
Don't let anybody know your lane, just smile
Grab a whole of anarchy and turn up the tile
