This way, good man, we've a deal to make!
I assure this is a good thing for both our sakes
I'm happy to provide, but remember your side
Of a bargain I know you can't refuse to take
All I ask is when I boost your station
Remember who gave you this grand ovation!
If I call on you for a favour or two
Don't forget it's now your obligation!
Smile like you mean it!
Take a chance and you could seize it!
I'm sure you'll do just swell, you're only down in Hell
So come along with me and guarantee it!
Smile your way through it!
Grit your teeth and get right to it!
Forget the rigmarole and you can have it all
And make it that much better when I see you fall
They say you reap what you sow
And in this town, you should damn well know
That what the Radio Demon wants, he's gonna take (he's gonna take it)
I've seen him kill Hell's greatest evils
Shake the status quo in upheaval
So if you think you're gettin' outta this? Big mistake (mow, now, sourpuss!)
Stop fuckin' around! This is takin' forever!
You always think you're real slick and clever
Yet I know what you like and what makes you tick, tick, tick, (tick tock)
Doin' what ya want's just the cost I pay
Enough o' this shit, we ain't got all day!
Just sign the thing so I can go get another fuckin' drink
Smile like you mean it!
Risk it all and we can seize it!
Until we hear that bell, we're both stuck in Hell
So roll the dice and see if you could be it!
Smile your way through it!
Embrace the dark as though you knew it
You can stand up tall and act within my thrall
And I'll be there to watch you as you take the fall
So what, my friend, whatever will it be?
I can give you what you crave, just not for free
You know what's on the line and this whole thing's on borrowed time
But you can trust the man who's wearing his one guarantee
Smile like you mean it!
Take a chance and you could seize it!
I'm sure you'll do just swell, you're only down in Hell
So come along with me and guarantee it!
Smile your way through it!
Grit your teeth and get right to it!
Forget the rigmarole and you can have it all
And make it that much better when I see you
Smile like you mean it!
Risk it all and we can seize it!
Until we hear that bell, we're both stuck in Hell
So roll the dice and see if you could be it!
Smile your way through it!
Embrace the dark as though you knew it
You can stand up tall and act within my thrall
And I'll be there to watch you
Yes, I'll watch you
I will make you
Break you as you fall
