Smile (Pictures or it Didn't Happen) Lyrics

smile
you can forget about your life
smile
you can forget about your life
the truth will follow you
the truth will follow you
the proof will swallow you up
holy shit you got some action
pictures or it didn't happen

smile smile
your teeth are broke and it's all right
smile smile
your teeth are broke and it's all right
they'll break the best of you
they'll break the best of you
it makes you beautiful
so fists into the lips of fashion
pictures or it didn't happen

I had such an awful dream last night
everybody's faces were too tight
please don't leave me
in this nightless light

god I'm gonna miss you when you....
smile
the end is near and it's high time
smile smile smile
the end is near and it's high time now
the light's amazing man
so time your instagram
the rapture swallowing the land
but we're the last ones laughing
pictures or it didn't happen
(get it cos we'll all be dead and
no one dead can use a camera)

I had such an awful dream last night
everybody's faces went all white
everybody in the world was either
getting killed or getting footage of the killing
that they went to surgeons working in the sky

I don't wanna
I don't wanna go to
I don't wanna go to cali
I don't wanna go to california

I DON'T WANT TO DIE
I DON'T WANT TO DIE
I DON'T WANT TO DIE

Cover art for Smile (Pictures or it Didn't Happen) lyrics by Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra

This song is about the way that technology has twisted our judgement. It is also about how people have certain ideals regarding beauty (i.e. having no wrinkles/tight faces).
