Mr. Smiley

(album: Big Daddy Multitude - 1993)

I remember how it used to be
And all the things you said to me
You always taught me right from wrong
(Wrong from right, right from wrong)
'Til you went on the killing spree
And killed your family
Why is this the way things have to be?
Tell me!

Oh Mr. Smiley
How could it be true
The things they say that they knew?
I can't believe it! What has happened to you?
I took my time while thinking it through
Digging through facts, believing in you
Oh Mr. Smiley
Give me a clue
Why they said it was you
I can't accept it! Tell me it's not true
'Cause you were once so good to me
Oh Mr. Smiley tell me how it could be

You always had a smile on your face (so big)
I never thought you'd be a criminal case
Until I saw your face on my TV
Was it just for entertainment?
'Cause now you face solitary confinement (in jail)
Why is this the way it has to be?
Tell me!

Oh Mr. Smiley
How could it be true
The things they say that they knew?
I can't believe it! What has happened to you?
I took my time while thinking it through
Digging through facts, believing in you
Oh Mr. Smiley
Give me a clue
Why they said it was you
I can't accept it! Tell me it's not true
'Cause you were once so good to me
Oh Mr. Smiley tell me how it could be

Oh Mr. Smiley, what has happened to you?
Oh Mr. Smiley, what has happened to you?
Tell me it's not true!
