Smile Boyo

(album: Gawk - 2015)

Folks are irrational
Kids are all animals
Truths only shadows from fire cast onto walls
Listen to what mama say
Only truth in early may
Problem with invertebrate, can't trust what they'll articulate

Smile kid
You've got to keep it hid
You've got to laugh it off
No matter what they said
And all the people say
What's it matter anyway
'Cause in the end we'll all evaporate

Went too far today
Knife felt far too great
Hack-sawed slack-jawed dogma gang
With her face in the honey
Her moon in the rain
Her back to the wind she felt just great

Smile kid
You've got to keep it hid
You've got to laugh it off
No matter what they said
And all the people say
What's it matter anyway
'Cause in the end we'll all evaporate
