The cover of a magazine, nothing but a paper dream
Just another fantasy for sale
Telling me what I need, what I should do, who I should be
That stuff don't matter to me at all

Chorus:
The sky is blue and the sun is shining
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds
I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flyin'
That's enough to keep me smilin'

Guru man on my TV set, selling the secrets to happiness
1-800-change your life today
Dreams, I've got my own; I ain't looking for a yellow-brick road
I'm just gonna go my own way

(repeat chorus)

Smilin', smilin'

(repeat chorus)

I'm still smilin',
gotta keep on smilin'
I'm still smilin'
