lyrics

The human brain’s a complex organ
Sensitive to chemical amounts
Inside your blood, the neurotransmitters
Are fluttering about
Low serotonin, epinephrine, and dopamine as well
You can’t believe it, can’t defeat it
When your mind is stuck in Hell

God is not there

But if you’re down with science
There’s a few things you can take
To make that frown turn upside down
And blow those suicidal thoughts away
The only cost is lust, you just
Adjust to that, my friend, nothing is free
It’s just your sex drive, just your sex drive
And here is what that means

No woman, no cry
But you will

Smile, smile, smile
When you let the drugs take over
Smile, smile, smile
They work better if you’re sober
Smile, smile, smile
Now pay close attention
Smile, my friend, you have depression

Whaddya say when everything in life
Is goin’ your way, you have no right
To make complaints, but all you do is whine
All night and day
When you were young somebody hurt you
And you never fully healed
It was so long ago, but every time you
Close your eyes you feel

That pain is still real
Why don’t you

Smile, smile, smile
Your body will think it’s happy
Smile, smile, smile
However much it seems sappy
Smile, smile, smile
To Hell with convention
Smile ’cause you have depression

Wellbutrin, Lexapro, Prozac,
Celexa, Zoloft, Depacote,
Effexor, and St. John’s Wort

Life is a cocktail party
Live as though you mean it
But you gotta leave your libido
At the door

Smile, smile, smile
’Cause everyone cool has got it
Smile, smile, smile
Like Brooke Shields and Ann-Margret
Smile, smile, smile
If I didn’t mention
Smile, we all have depression

La la la la la la la....

Time’s up for your session
Smile, you have depression
