smile now pay later

smiling faces

dirty hands

laughing faces

blood on their hands

they've lost their souls

why would they care for yours

what a misconception

you're the pawn in this deception

always do as you're told

you let fear take the controls

we've been neglected

and you think we're protected

you can smile now

you'll cry later

you can laugh now

you'll pay later

pray to your god

they won't save you

believe in yourself

they won't save you

nothing can save us

but ourselves and our minds

smiling faces

dirty money hands

laughing faces

blood on their hands

when did creed overrun the lives

of the children innocence died

many years before my time

for many years they're feeding us lies

through these older eyes

i see a much colder side

of human kind

i'll ostracize myself from those i despise

you can smile now

you'll cry later

you can laugh now

you'll pay later

pray to your god

they won't save you

believe in yourself

they won't save you

nothing can save us

but ourselves and our minds

dirty faces

bloody hands

laughing faces

bloody hands

dirty faces

bloody hands

laughing faces
