Smiles lyrics
Song information
Artist: Lou Reed Album: Growing Up In Public
Lyrics
Smiles, I was taught never to smile I was told the stylish smiles of buffoonery Chicanery and larceny abound
My mom said unless someone sticks you right in front of a camera A smile is the last thing that you wanna do Those smiles, those mirthless toothy smiles
Smiles, they all smile on tv The quizmaster with his withered crones The talkshow hosting movie stars, the politician licking feet
The mugger, the rapist, the arsonic lover All smile out from the news, at one time or another Those smiles, those garish sickly smiles
When I was young my mother said to me Never, ever, let anyone see that you're happy
Smiles, never, ever let them see you smile They'll always put you down With those smiles, never, ever let them see you smile They'll always put you down With your smiles, never, ever let them see you smile Don't you know they'll make you go
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo (Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) (Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
