Lyrics

Plastic Smile

[Chorus 1]

All I'm after is belief, all you're showing me is teeth

You've been staring at me for a long while

[Chorus 2]

All I'm after is belief, all you're showing me is teeth

All I'm seeing is your plastic smile

[Drop]

All I'm seeing is your plastic smile

All I'm seeing is your plastic smile

All I'm seeing is your plastic smile

All I'm seeing is your plastic smile

[Chorus 2]

Plastic (plastic) smile

All I'm seeing is your plastic smile

[Verse]

You've gone a little bit drastic

Well you're smile gone far too plastic

If you flashing a little grin when your friends walk in

They might just say you smashed it

But they're being sarcastic, cause to be fantastic

All you've gotta do really, enter the room

Start shit like a matchstick crowd goes

[Drop]

All I'm seeing is your plastic smile

You've been staring at me for a long while

All you're showing me is

All I'm seeing is your plastic smile

Plastic (plastic) smile

All I'm seeing is your plastic smile

[Verse]
