lyrics

I'm gonna paint a big red smile across my face
Install a string that makes me sing
Anything that you want to hear
Maybe something you won't fear

And I'll be grinning
And lying through my teeth
And we'll all be happy
With no one telling the truth
That we all don't want to hear

And I'll forget to mention that while i sing this song
Sixteen women were beaten by a lover's hand
And I'll forget to mention that four women died today
In this very same way

And I'll be grinning
And lying through my teeth
And we'll all be happy
With no one telling the truth
That we all don't want to hear

And I'll forget to mention that while I write this song
Ronnie fry is waiting
He's waiting to die
And I'll forget to mention that his lawyer drank his way
Through all those court days

And I'll be grinning
And lying through my teeth
And we'll all be happy
With no one telling the truth
That we all don't want to hear

I'm gonna paint a big red smile across my face
Install a string that makes me sing
Anything that you want to hear
Maybe something you won't fear

And I'll be grinning
And lying through my teeth
And we'll all be happy
With no one telling the truth
That we all don't want to hear
