Smile - Hellions

I’m ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?

It’s an open faucet of confluent bullshit

We’re all one, trying to make the best of it

Now how much pain can I sustain?

How much more can I inflict, is this it?

You know you’ve got to build the house

Before you let any guests in

You need shelter, need a home in your own skin

It mightn’t be decadent but it cannot be desolate

Where’s the happiness?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?

If we can shut the fuck up

Maybe we can learn to smile for once

(I'm ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?)

And we’ve all got something to say

Living in a human menagerie

(I'm ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?)

We’re each complete with the gall to believe

Our problems are sophisticated, bold, unique

Smiles with no teeth

(Embraces with no squeeze)

Gestures for manners, no audible «please»

It’s all been idle talk

And I’ve had nothing of substance to say

We talk about people

Not about ideas or how we came to be this way

This way

If we can shut the fuck up

Maybe we can learn to smile for once

(I'm ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?)

And we’ve all got something to say

Living in a human menagerie

(I'm ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?)

I’m ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?

If we can shut the fuck up

Maybe we can learn to smile for once

(I'm ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?)

(Smile with no teeth, strung out, off key)

And we’ve all got something to say

Living in a human menagerie

(I'm ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?)

(Smile with no teeth, but your eyes I can believe)

If we can shut the fuck up

Maybe we can learn to smile for once

(I'm ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?)

(Smile with no teeth, strung out, off key)

And we’ve all got something to say

Living in a human menagerie

(I'm ready to run, are you ready?

I’m ready to run, are you ready?)

(Smile with no teeth, but your eyes I can believe)

I’m ready to run, are you ready?
