Lyrics

Smiler

No reason for he to be mean

I can't really understand him

Why don't you keep demanding?

Is there really no one else?

We can't keep laying it under

Why don't you [unknown]

No reason for he to be mean

I can't really understand him

Why don't you reduce demanding?

Is there really no one else?

We can't keep laying it under

Why don't you keep pretending?

Run, lazy daughter [?]

Behold me lashing as she runs [?]

If she's your [unknown]

I need a payday

Bad things it will hasten [?]

Who better to say than to say [?]

Have you been hypnotizing me?

You will share in this weird diachrony

I'll retain those bastards with the rest [?]

Luscious lady came to kill all this

And I'm holding the proud[?] rusty nail
