Take it and Smile
Do right, fear what you want
Just what you fall back on
Won't get you out alive
Just the same old talk from the mind eye
Can't get what I need to rest
Outside the squalid mess
Too late to start anew
For the longest time, thought we might do
I get so sick with rage at what's bein' done
It doesn't help me to know I'm not the only one
Can't believe in nothin' that I tell myself
Can't rely on the promise that it all be well
I wish that there was somethin' I could say or do
Doesn't feel any better just to know it's true
And it gets worse all the while
How can I just take it and smile?
All the plyin' make it so vile
All the pain, just take it and smile
Take it and smile
Come out, tell me it straight
Just why we ought to wait
It's not dark, but it's gettin' close
I don't have to say it, everyone knows
Can't change, reform or align
What's made was by design
And just what will come to pass
Now the fates have come, but it won't last
And I could cry with rage at what's bein' done
It doesn't help me to know I'm not the only one
Can't believe in nothin' that I tell myself
Can't rely on the promise that it all be well
I wish that there was somethin' I could say or do
Doesn't feel any better just to know it's true
And it gets worse all the while
How can I just take it and smile?
All the plyin' make it so vile
All the pain, just take it and smile
All the smite and denial
All the sadness, take it and smile
Take it and smile
Just what you fall back on
Won't get you out alive
Just the same old talk from the mind eye
Can't get what I need to rest
Outside the squalid mess
Too late to start anew
For the longest time, thought we might do
I get so sick with rage at what's bein' done
It doesn't help me to know I'm not the only one
Can't believe in nothin' that I tell myself
Can't rely on the promise that it all be well
I wish that there was somethin' I could say or do
Doesn't feel any better just to know it's true
And it gets worse all the while
How can I just take it and smile?
All the plyin' make it so vile
All the pain, just take it and smile
Take it and smile
Come out, tell me it straight
Just why we ought to wait
It's not dark, but it's gettin' close
I don't have to say it, everyone knows
Can't change, reform or align
What's made was by design
And just what will come to pass
Now the fates have come, but it won't last
And I could cry with rage at what's bein' done
It doesn't help me to know I'm not the only one
Can't believe in nothin' that I tell myself
Can't rely on the promise that it all be well
I wish that there was somethin' I could say or do
Doesn't feel any better just to know it's true
And it gets worse all the while
How can I just take it and smile?
All the plyin' make it so vile
All the pain, just take it and smile
All the smite and denial
All the sadness, take it and smile
Take it and smile
