Some call me a modern anarchist
I prefer to think I'm a social arsonist
I'm not the guy motivated by an endgame
I guess that's what they call the definition of insane
We should cut off his mane to show off his shame
I just want everyone's fates the same
We should shake the basket to make it clear
That no one is safe in this world you hear?
I don't wear a mask cause I'm an open book
Freedom means translucency a cop or crook
I'm the Clown Prince of Gotham
You all know my hand
No surprise when I antagonize this crime-ridden land
This makeup is not here to hide or disguise
If you show me yours then I'll show you mine
Joke's on you I've got nothing to hide
I gave up my identity in 1989
Masks
They don't tell us who we are but who we want to be
And we want to see what's behind the
Masks
They don't tell us who we are but who we want to be
So tell me who wants to be a bat?
Riddle me this
What's a man got to hide
That he wears a bat suit and fights a crime at night?
Riddle me this
What's he have to lose
That he takes every precaution to protect his ruse?
Knowledge is power and I need to know
What's he got against us making us his foes?
Hurt by a criminal? Probably
Social standing high? Most definitely
Thinks himself a hero? It's clear to see
This man's got issues and I'm noticing a theme
Won't take lives won't take bribes
Now to educate evaluate all this puzzle implies
I'm driven by the pursuit of knowledge
I never even went to college
If all you know is what you're told
You're limiting the cards you hold
I'm the only enigma in this filthy little town
So take off the mask and relinquish my crown
Masks
They don't tell us who we are but who we want to be
And we want to see what's behind the
Masks
They don't tell us who we are but who we want to be
So tell me who wants to be a bat?
A mask at its core is a second face
Gee I wonder why I can relate
Hey some know me by the name of Harvey Dent
And others know me as a crook who went a little bent
I used to be seen as this stand-up guy
But long story short I got a little fried on the side
Now the bat gets to lead this double life
And my faces are exposed and I just can't hide?
I need to see our skeletons in one big pile
So I know I'm not alone in this two-faced trial
I need to see his face
And know we're both the same
Just give me a name Lois Lane Bane or Bob Kane
About the mask let's take a look under there
I even got a coin to flip to make it a little fair
Heads I see your face and tails I let you go
Unless the Joker gets you first
I'll have to let you know
Masks
They don't tell us who we are but who we want to be
And we want to see what's behind the
Masks
They don't tell us who we are but who we want to be
So tell me who wants to be a bat?
You can run but you can't hide
There's gonna be an unmasking tonight
The world's hypnotized by your lies
All we want to do is liberate their minds
I just want the world to see your shame
I just want power from knowledge gained
I just want proof that we're all the same
What the heck?!
Is that?
Ah!
Bruce Wayne?!?
