You wanna show everything's a "Go" and never slips
So you always smile in pics
You wanna follow a trend and not appear as misfits
So you always smile in pics
You wanna hide safe behind a mask and look legit
That's why you always smile in pics
Keep smiling y'all, keep smiling y'all
Keep, keep, k-keep, k-keep smiling y'all
Chin up. get your good angles. eyes all
Lit up. If you feel strangled, all the more
Reason to perform for your precious supporters
Through the seasonal affective disorder
No one's trying to see you out here having a wet cry
Unless you had a bad breakup, or your pet died
Anything else keep it locked inside and stay stoic
Take a photo of a lake with a quote from a gay poet
Here, use one of mine. sure the sun'll shine
Burn you outside feeling next to nothing, but numb inside
Saving up a little something for later
Peace sign, tongue out - AH! - stunting on the haters
Such as me and also me, be the change you wanna see
Photography technology, flawlessly makes apologies
A solid policy - it's important to know
A good photo conceals more than it shows
Make sure the only crack that shows is those lips
That's why you always smile in pics
You figure no-one's walked a mile in those kicks
Yeah, that's why you always smile in pics
Pray for the wind to change so your face could stick
That's why you always smile in pics
Keep smiling y'all, keep smiling y'all
Keep, keep, k-keep, k-keep smiling y'all
Four hours steady to practice a selfie
Can this be healthy? Might make you wealthy
If you're the corp' running the app, that is
A perfect drug to get you stuck. Search for love
Get a following of the masses quick
Or find out nobody cares about your whereabouts
Low Likes on the pic? Just delete it, like it was never out
More attention-getting with tales of upset and
You just smiling through the adversity
Hiding it like you're supposed to be
Hashtag: Goals. Best time for you to post
Is nine-thirty A.M. on a weekday. DMs take their toll
When specific randos ask you for booty pics
You say "no," you're a snooty prick tease
They hope you get a disease
But you might have one already: a giant urge to receive
Adoration. But most don't see it as an aberration
Just a validation for all the work put in to be a trend
Take a break from views, we might be able to see again
You wanna show everything's a "Go" and never slips
So you always smile in pics
You figure no-one's walked a mile in those kicks
Yeah, that's why you always smile in pics
You wanna hide safe behind a mask and look legit
That's why you always smile in pics
Keep smiling y'all, keep smiling y'all
Keep, keep, k-keep, k-keep smiling y'all
