Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How to fight loneliness
Smile all the time
Shine your teeth till meaningless
Sharpen them with lies
And whatever's going down
Will follow you around
That's how you fight loneliness
[Verse 2]
You laugh at every joke
Drag your blanket blindly
And fill your heart with smoke
And the first thing that you want
Will be the last thing you ever need
That's how you fight it
[Chorus]
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
[Outro]
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
Do, do-do
