Operation Ivy - Smiling [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[intro]
Smiling
Friends
Watching you

[verse 1]
At the party, at the bus stop, at the bar
You're looking at women because your score is under par
When you find her, it doesn't mean anything
You wonder why your life is so boring

[bridge]
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
You would gladly waste it just to save face
Her desire is your wish, and without it you are lost;
Integrity is fragile, but you ignored the cost

[Chorus]
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching --
You!
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching --
You!

[verse 3]
One night stand, car keys in hand
You've fulfilled your gender's sexual demands
Are you feeling insecure and empty
When you're rushing to report it to your peers?

[bridge]
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
You would gladly waste it just to save face
Her desire is your wish, your integrity is lost;
Integrity is fragile, but you ignored the cost

[Chorus]
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching --
You!
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching --
You!

[Chorus]
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching --
You!
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching --
You!

[outro]
Smile!
Friends!
Watching you!
