The Smile on Your Face

Why do you come to me
With that smile on your face
Saying that you've heard it all before?
So full of the joys of life
To care for thought at all
But it's you who has free rein.

Why do you torture me
With looks that could kill?
My grieving heart can't take much more.
It is ironic to think that one who has it all
Could just throw it all away.

CHORUS
We're on the rise again
And you can't stop us now.

Why do you think the future is so far away?
You're young but there are younger than you.
I never thought idealism was such a crime
Till you smashed my dreams in two.

Don't believe the patriot,
I don't believe the past,
Don't believe there's anything to be gained in compromise,
I believe in youth,
But you won't believe yourself,
It's funny you never know what you've got until it's gone.

Smash my dreams if you like
but you can't sell my soul (repeat)
Take all my possessions and it might hurt a bit
But that smile on your face will be gone.

it's 7:58 AM now
