It's a smiley face society
Where danger lurks around every word
We treasure anonymity
And up the sign 'do not disturb'
A fearless life is one that smiles
Much less than ours, it has no need
For what contentment puts its trust
No further than the eye can see?
Until then it's smiles all round
On cartoon cars and burger clowns
While at the local stomping ground
Were overheard these words profound
'What d'you think you're smiling at?'
We've reached the fear of happy face!
Now we're several times removed from any regard for the human race
Let's get angry let's get mad
Let's get back to what we had
The power to scare will get respect
When wrongly linked to intellect
A fear delivered wrapped in suits
Will have us quaking in our boots
It's how the power games trickle down
When the smile provokes a frown
When you're told there's no debate
The things you do just don't relate
Let's get angry let's get mad
Let's get back to what we had
I cannot be the only one
Who knows that fear is overcome
By seeing it as it really is
A means to keep us all transfixed
Silent wary hypnotized
Blocking out the screams inside
Our silence only hides the link
Between the minds that dare to think
Let's get angry let's get mad
Let's get back to what we had
