Could you see your way clear
and arrange your eyes away from mine
Sorry I'm here
but you get paid get paid to lie
You get paid to smile
Would you really say hello
and let me carry my own guitar
and please don't hold the door
I can work the handle on any car
It's really not that hard
smile, paid to smile
smile, paid to smile
oooh
the cigarette girl took off her tray
and dropped her dress in a shiny pile
pulled her pants up on her way
when gets home she'll laugh a while
she gets paid to smile
smile
smile
smile
smile
smile
smileI was thinkin' of a new religion
A one where no one got paid
We'd sit around and talk to each other
I wonder what we'd say
And we'd be looking in a new direction
Wouldn't be the same
And we'd be looking in a new direction
I musta been insane
Well I'm insane
And I'm in need of a new prescription
I still feel the pain
Make it just a wee bit stronger
I think I'll be okay
And we were seeking some week perfection
But it's all the same
And we were seeking some weak perfection
It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same
it's all the same
It's all the same
And I'm in need of a little laughter
To releive the strain
New home, yeah, new way of livin'
I'll try to be myself again
And when all the same old problems
Come around again
Light a match, peel a smile
Say no, never, ever, ever again
Never
There ya go. have fun.
