Lyrics

Smile Like a Hostage

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You'd better make amends

With your loyal believers

Dependent on your skills

I'd like to take this time to thank you all

You patronize yourself

And your words never matter

Only thinking of yourself

I've done so much and think of only you

So smile like a hostage

We hate to watch you

Staking your claim

As to better suit you

So we'll just smile and say

Thanks so much

You're too much

Thanks so much

And smile like a hostage

Now we're throwing stones

Behind the glass in the shadows

Enemies and allies made

Be careful of thе ones who are unsure

The sting is more intense

To the bee than the cattle

So are you sticking out

Speaking too loud can cast you to the wolves

So smile like a hostage

We hate to watch you

Staking your claim

As to better suit you

So we'll just smile and say

Thanks so much

You're too much

Thanks so much

And smile like a hostage

Thanks so much

You're too much

Thanks so much

And smile like a hostage

We can see you through the key

Smile like a hostage

We love to watch you

Fail your own game

Trying to suit you

So we'll just smile and say

Thanks so much

You're too much

Thanks so much

And smile like a hostage

Thanks so much

You're too much

Thanks so much

And smile like a hostage

Thanks so much

You're too much

Thanks so much

And smile like a hostage
