Lyrics
Ooh! Dark politics leads to the best drag If you're sad about the mess we're in For all the negatives about the Reichstag Look what it did for East Berlin Authoritarians beget subversion Remember this when you get bummed out So give your pretty painted eyes unto a virgin As the buyer rubs another one out on you Ooh yeah! Well night just fell, we've been here before We can't find the keys to turn off the war But the optimist in me is never sad The glass is half full but the water tastes bad 'Cause the big lie has already spread And nobody cares how many books you've read So just enjoy yourself and make some art Then set it on fire and rip it apart Smile, smile It will be dark here for a good long while And ooh there will be times when you want to die Smile, smile And even though you may be oozing bile And ooh it's neutralized by the salty tears you cry When Baron Von Schnitzel turned the last oven off He left the lights on for Baron Von Stroganoff Who hopped the next junket down to Argentina He had a baby boy who became a ballerina She had enough one day and she joined the circus She came to America, was forced to twerk it She had enough again and after some persistence She switched teams and joined the resistance She danced for the emperor, danced for the king Danced for the president, it's all the same thing And when she got close enough to be on his arm She became love in the form a bomb, boom! Hey! Woo! Smile, smile It will be dark here for a good long while And ooh there will be times when you want to die Smile, smile And even though you may be oozing bile And ooh it's neutralized by the salty tears you cry The apocalypse will be televised The revolution will be tossed aside So pledge your allegiance to fat white guys While the snowflakes run and hide The streets are all filled with fire As the soldiers come marching in So just mind the fences and the barbed wire Make nice with the side that wins And ooh! Ooh! Dark politics walks the long plank Look no further than Tiananmen square For every Chinaman that stares down a big tank There's a billion that just don't care Now the hangman rings the broken bell And the reaper, he leads the dance And the world spins around like a carousel And never plays the musical chairs Smile, smile It will be dark here for a good long while And ooh there will be times when you want to die Smile, smile And even though you may be oozing bile And ooh it's neutralized by the salty tears you cry Yeah!
