Serious Lyrics by Todd Rundgren

State

2013

[Verse 1]
I like a laugh, I like my fun
You cross the line, you better run
If you're inclined to laugh at this
Soon you will find out where that line is

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I tried to play the nice guy
You had to be a wise guy
I should just let it pass by
But now it's daddy time
Because I'm

[Chorus 1]
Serious - serious as I can be
Serious - better call the cops on me
Serious - I'm about to chain react
Because I'm serious as a heart attack
Clear!

[Verse 2]
You're on the edge of trouble now
You have offended my sacred cow
You shall receive what you deserve
Since you been dancing on my last nerve

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I should try to ignore you
There's really no cure for you
But once again you're out of line
Now it's daddy time
You know I'm

[Chorus 2]
Serious - you made a fool outta me
Serious - now I'm counting up to three
Serious - your lame excuses don't mean jack
Because I'm serious as a heart attack
Clear!

[Instrumental interlude]

[Chorus 1]
Serious - serious as I can be
Serious - better call the cops on me
Serious - I'm about to chain react
Because I'm serious as a heart attack
Clear!

[Chorus 2]
Serious - when you made a fool outta me
Serious - I'm already up to three
Serious - your lame excuses don't mean jack
Because I'm, because I'm, because I'm

[Chorus 1]
Serious - serious as I can be
Serious - better call the cops on me
Serious - I'm about, I'm about to chain react
Because I'm serious as a heart attack
Clear!
