Lyrics of Smile for the camera

What if you find out everyone that's in your life
Is only being paid off by a tv studio
And every conversation everyone's had with you
Was scripted by the writers living in los angeles

Smile for the camera
Put on a show for the viewers back home
Hide the truth so they'll never know
You hate what you got, can't you love what you got?

So smile for the cameras that keep rolling
(smile for the cameras that keep rolling)
Smile for the cameras that keep rolling

What if you find out everything that's in your life
Was only put in front of you by people waiting for you to fall
And every time you trip up, it's all just a game
Nothing's really mattered and nothing was as bad as you thought it was

Smile for the camera
Put on a show for the viewers back home
Hide the truth so they'll never know
You hate what you got, can't you love what you got?

So smile for the cameras that keep rolling
(smile for the cameras that keep rolling)
Smile for the cameras that keep rolling

The banquet, the recession, it was all for you
Affectionate obsession from the masses grew
Little did they all know

You're just scared, you're just scared
You're just scared of when
They'll write you off your own show

Put on the show for the viewers back home
Hide the truth so they'll never know
You hate what you got, can't you love what you got?

So smile for the cameras that keep rolling
(smile for the cameras that keep rolling)
Smile for the cameras that keep rolling
(smile for the cameras)

Love what you got, can't you love what you got?
Love what you got, can't you love what you got?
Love what you got, can't you love what you got?
(smile for them)

Love what you got, can't you love what you got?
Love what you got, can't you love what you got?
Love what you got, can't you love what you got?
