Take it and Smile

[00:02.80] Do right, fear what you want
[00:07.05] Just what you fall back on
[00:11.34] Won't get you out alive
[00:15.65] Just the same old talk from the mind eye
[00:19.87] Can't get what I need to rest
[00:24.37] Outside the squalid mess
[00:28.54] Too late to start anew
[00:32.97] For the longest time, thought we might do
[00:40.17] I get so sick with rage at what's bein' done
[00:44.58] It doesn't help me to know I'm not the only one
[00:48.93] Can't believe in nothin' that I tell myself
[00:53.13] Can't rely on the promise that it all be well
[00:57.38] I wish that there was somethin' I could say or do
[01:01.46] Doesn't feel any better just to know it's true
[01:05.92] And it gets worse all the while
[01:09.97] How can I just take it and smile?
[01:14.12] All the plyin' make it so vile
[01:18.57] All the pain, just take it and smile
[01:24.50] Take it and smile
[01:26.39]
[01:43.17] Come out, tell me it straight
[01:47.43] Just why we ought to wait
[01:51.56] It's not dark, but it's gettin' close
[01:56.06] I don't have to say it, everyone knows
[02:00.21] Can't change, reform or align
[02:04.49] What's made was by design
[02:08.63] And just what will come to pass
[02:13.12] Now the fates have come, but it won't last
[02:20.47] And I could cry with rage at what's bein' done
[02:24.62] It doesn't help me to know I'm not the only one
[02:29.13] Can't believe in nothin' that I tell myself
[02:33.34] Can't rely on the promise that it all be well
[02:37.33] I wish that there was somethin' I could say or do
[02:41.99] Doesn't feel any better just to know it's true
[02:46.19] And it gets worse all the while
[02:50.09] How can I just take it and smile?
[02:54.56] All the plyin' make it so vile
[02:58.76] All the pain, just take it and smile
[03:03.13] All the smite and denial
[03:07.14] All the sadness, take it and smile
[03:13.34] Take it and smile
[03:15.12]
