Does it make you feel like a big shot
When you tear somebody's dreams down?
Does it make you hurt to think some other clown
Has got himself his own crown?
(You're a joke mate)
Why count your own comments
When you criticism's so bland?
(You've got no taste)
You think you've got it
'Cos they sell it on the newsstand?
Keep smiling while they cast their stones,
(When they ask and you can't say no/when you ask but they won't take note)
Keep smiling let them grind your bones,
(When they ask and you can't say no/when you ask but they grind your bones)
Keep smiling lock it all inside,
(When they ask and you can't say no/when you lock it all inside.)
Where all your bitterness resides.
Do you think you're safe,
Behind the scenes spitting venomous dissections?
What gives you the right?
What makes you think your petty words
Have got conviction?
(Look who's talking now!)
When arrogance confuses facts and opinions,
(That's rich/what a snitch!/like you're so highbrow!)
I don't subscribe to the view
That you hold dominion over me!
Keep smiling while they cast their stones,
(When they ask and you can't say no/when you ask but they won't take note)
Keep smiling let them grind your bones,
(When they ask and you can't say no/when you ask but they grind your bones)
Keep smiling lock it all inside,
(When they ask and you can't say no/when you lock it all inside.)

"OK so this is the way I see it:
All you do is commentate
On what's hot and what's not.
What's hip and what's shit.
What means somethin',
And what ain't nothing,
You're a leaking sprout of shallow observations
Based on half-arsed assumptions.
You're spineless.
You don't add anything to this world
You don't create anything,
It costs you NOTHING!
THIS COSTS US EVERYTHING!
Keep smiling while they cast their stones,
Keep smiling let them grind your bones,
Keep smiling lock it all inside,
Insideeeeeee
