"Smiles"
Smiles, I was taught never to smile
I was told the stylish smiles of buffoonery
chicanery and larceny abound
My mom said unless someone sticks you right in front of a camera
A smile is the last thing that you wanna do
Those smiles, those mirthless toothy smiles
Smiles, they all smile on TV
The quizmaster with his withered crones
the talkshow hosting movie stars
the politician licking feet
The mugger, the rapist, the arsonic lover
All smile out from the news, at one time or another
Those smiles, those garish sickly smiles
When I was young my mother said to me:
"Never, ever, let anyone see that you're happy"
Smiles, never, ever let them see you smile
they'll always put you down
With those smiles, never, ever let them see you smile
they'll always put you down
With your smiles, never, ever let them see you smile
don't you know they'll make you go
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Smiles
Smiles - I was taught never to smile
I was told the stylish smiles of buffoonery, chicanery and larcemy abound
My man said unless someone sticks you right in front of a camera
A smile is the last thing that you wanna do
Those smiles - those mirthless toothy smiles
Smiles - they all smile on T.V.
the quizmaster with his withered crones
The talk show hosting moviestars
the politician licking feet
The mugger, the rapist,
The arsonist lover
All smile out from the news
At one time or another
Those smiles - those garish, sickly smiles
When I was young my mother said to me -
"Never, ever, let anyone see that you're happy"
Smiles, never, ever let them see you smile -
They'll always put you down - with your smiles -
never, ever, let them see you smile -
Don't you know, they'll make you go:
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo
