Pajama pants walking - Hey Gotham: Return of the Joker

〈verse 1〉
When i was just starting out, i had this standup routine
But i could never get through it, because the crowd was too mean
Then i got a new face, i began to lash out
I said some things without knowing what i was talking about
And even though i know i only had the best of intent
I fear, my dear, some people clearly didn't know what i meant
If any of you ever walked in my shoes for a mile
You'd see i only ever wanted to make you smile

〈verse 2〉
But you create this false narrative and you treat it like gospеl, suddenly i'm a bad person cause i blеw up one hospital?
It was just one. who knows how long ago that was?
Why can't you just look the other way, you know, like the president does?
I'm sorry, perhaps that was unfair to say
"actively aiding the assault's" a more accurate articulation than looking away. i'm practically saving lives with taxes
Redirecting them to a bat-cave pelted with knives and axes
You could've had free healthcare, no one living without a home, instead, some maniac billionaire wanted his very own iron bat-dome (ha)

〈chorus〉
Everybody blame the joker
Everyone point and laugh
Everyone believe the rumors
Everyone ignore the facts
And the facts, from my perspective
Are that maybe i'm not a bad guy
But try telling the collective
When no one wants to see you fly
Fly away, baby joker
They don't understand you here
〈spoken〉
Across the years, i've been accused of many quote-unquote- "crimes"
I'd now like to remind you of
Some of them, lest they be overshadowed permanently

〈bridge〉
I vandalized the paintings in the
Museum cause i was trying to make
A statement on climate activism
I never thought everybody would
Get so triggered when i killed that
Man on live television
You treat me like i'm a terrorist
Maybe i am a terrorist
Did gotham city shoot to the top of your nuclear hit list?
Yeah baby
I could have blown up a couple more schools and hospitals
And even then i'd have a lot of catching up to do

When it comes to villainy
You give me a run for my money
I even heard mr. freeze
Ask "whose heart could be so cold?"
Even the riddler agrees
You've gotta be missing a pretty big puzzle piece
Playing the victim while cosplaying
Nazis in these fitted sheets of
Histories you can't seem to fold, no
You were beating a dog, and the dog it your hand
But it's more than a dog and you're less than a man if you can't understand
You can't steal someone's land, turn around and
Demand that we see the fake blood on your wounds
Not the real blood on your hands

〈chorus〉
No
Everybody blame the joker
Everyone point and laugh
Everybody play the victim
Well who's the victim now? (me)
I am not a monster
I'm just ahead of the curve
What do you get when you ruin someone's life (countless lives)?
Well you'll get what you fucking deserve

〈spoken〉
Oh, and one more thing

〈outro〉
Sometimes a person can terrorize gotham city
And it turns out to be a waste of time
If i'd picked a further, more convenient city
I could have instant, endless funding for war crimes
No, i will stay in gotham
Trust me, i have a good sense of what's just plain not funny
Denying evidence of genocidal increments doesn't make it go away
It just makes you a clown
