Smiling Phases

Do yourself a favor Wake up to your mind Life is what you make it You see but still your blind Get yourself together, give before you take You'll find out the hard way Soon you're going to break Smiling Phases, going places Even when they bust you Keep on smiling through and through And you'll be amazed at the gaze on their faces As they sentence you You don't need a lawyer When you're in a fix Someone gets the pay off You're friends are full of tricks How could you love something That you just can't buy? Own up to the truth girl Your mother's gone on by Your companion, brings you flowers You just hang him up And keep him waiting there for hours And you should just see the look on his face As you slide down the rail
