SMILE
THOUGH YOUR KNEE IS ACHING
SMILE,
EVEN THOUGH ITS BREAKING
WHEN THERE ARE NO DIMES IN THE SKY
YOU’LL GET BY

IF YOU SMILE
THROUGH YOUR MIDCARDS AND SORROW
SMILE,
AND MAYBE TOMORROW
YOU’LL SEE THE BELT COME SHININ THROUGH
FOR (YOU)

LIGHT UP YOUR FACE WITH SUBSTANCE
HIDE EVERY TRACE OF NARCOTICS
ALTHOUGH A HART MAY BE EVER SO NEAR

THAT’S THE TIME YOU MUST KEEP ON WORKIN
SMILE, WHATS THE USE OF JOBBING
YOU’LL FIND THAT LIFE IS STILL WORTH WHILE
IF YOU JUST SMILE
