Smile For the Camera

What if you find out everyone that's in your life

Is only being paid off by a TV studio

And every conversation everyone's had with you

Was scripted by the writers living in Los Angeles

Smile for the camera

Put on a show for the viewers back home

Hide the truth so they'll never know

You hate what you got, can't you love what you got?

So smile for the cameras that keep rolling

(Smile for the cameras that keep rolling)

Smile for the cameras that keep rolling

What if you find out everything that's in your life

Was only put in front of you by people waiting for you to fall

And every time you trip up, it's all just a game

Nothing's really mattered and nothing was as bad as you thought it was

Smile for the camera

Put on a show for the viewers back home

Hide the truth so they'll never know

You hate what you got, can't you love what you got?

So smile for the cameras that keep rolling

(Smile for the cameras that keep rolling)

Smile for the cameras that keep rolling

The banquet, the recession, it was all for you

Affectionate obsession from the masses grew

Little did they all know

You're just scared, you're just scared

You're just scared of when

They'll write you off your own show

Put on the show for the viewers back home

Hide the truth so they'll never know

You hate what you got, can't you love what you got?

So smile for the cameras that keep rolling

(Smile for the cameras that keep rolling)

Smile for the cameras that keep rolling

(Smile for the cameras)

Love what you got, can't you love what you got?

Love what you got, can't you love what you got?

Love what you got, can't you love what you got?

(Smile for them)

Love what you got, can't you love what you got?

Love what you got, can't you love what you got?

Love what you got, can't you love what you got?
