Clown on the corner, holding up a sign
Doing his dance, trying to make a dime
Then the thugs rolled up, snatched it from his hand
Arthur chased 'em down, couldn't understand
Ran into the alley, it was all a trap
Got surrounded quick, then they made him snap
Beat him to the ground, left him in the dirt
Nobody gives a damn when you already hurt
Arthur, Arthur, living at the bottom
Society don't see him, they forgot him
Laughing through the pain, but it's not funny
Making pennies while they making all the money
Boss heard the news, sign got destroyed
Didn't show no love, man, he was annoyed
Cursed him out loud, took a month of pay
Arthur kicked the trash cans, what else can he say?
Even when he's broken, beaten, feeling low
Saw a sad kid sitting, tried to steal the show
Made the little homie smile through the pain
That's the thing with Arthur kindness in his veins
But his mind is fractured, cracked beneath the skin
Laughing uncontrolled, demon deep within
Can't stop the giggles, people think he's mad
Every single outburst making his life bad
Randall heard the story, said"I got your back"
Handed him a pistol, cold and fully black"Protect yourself, homie, world is cold"
Little did he know, that heat would take his soul
That gun, that gun
Pulled him to the dark side, now he can't run
That gun, that gun
This the point of no return, it's just begun
Hospital gig, performing for the kids
Gun slipped out his coat, look at what he did
Children screaming, terror in their eyes
Randall snitched him out, told the boss them lies
Phone call came in"Arthur, you are done"
Standing in the booth, nowhere left to run
Fear and desperation flooding through his brain
All the negativity driving him insane
Sitting on the subway, empty, feeling numb
Three dudes harassing women, acting dumb
She looked at Arthur, begging him to help
But he's too far gone, drowning in himself
Then the laughter hit him, couldn't make it stop
Three men turned around, thought he's mocking 'em a lot
She escaped the train car, left him there alone
Now they beating Arthur, flesh against the bone
Arthur, Arthur, lying on the floor
Betrayed and disrespected, can't take no more
Laughing through the punches, flickering light
Something in him shifted on this cold dark night
Bullied, backstabbed, treated like a joke
Every memory rising, something finally broke
All that pain and anger, buried way too deep
Now the devil's waking, evil doesn't sleep
He pulled out the pistol bang bang bang
Three bodies dropped, heard the silence rang
No panic in his eyes, just a cold release
For the first time ever, Arthur found his peace
Walked into the bathroom, blood still on his hands
Started moving slowly, like he finally understands
Dancing in the mirror, smiling at the dark
This ain't Arthur anymore
This the birth of Joker's spark
