Smile More Lyrics - Deap Vally

Everybody's tryina tell me what to do 

Everybody's tryina tell me what to do 

Makes me wanna break some shit and sniff some glue 

Everybody's tryina tell me what to do 

Stranger in the bar tells me to smile more 

I look at him and I ask, what for? 

I am happily un-happy man 

And no, I don't wanna shake your hand 

I don't wanna be a reflection 

I'm so bored with this rejection 

I don't wanna be a reflection 

I don't need your direction 

And I am not ashamed of my mental state 

And I am not ashamed of my body weight 

And I am not ashamed of my rage 

And I am not ashamed of my age 

And I am not ashamed of my sex life 

Although I wish it were better 

I am not ashamed I am no one's wife 

Although the idea does sound kind of nice 

I don't wanna be a reflection 

I'm so bored with this rejection 

I don't wanna be a reflection 

I don't need your direction 

All this reflecting is bad for my complexion, 

Come on now, let's take this to the next section 

People think they know what kind of girl I am 

They take one look, they think they understand 

And they're always surprised when they meet me 

Apparently I'm terribly misleading 

And yes, I am a feminist 

But that isn't why I started doing this 

And sometimes I am full of bitterness 

But I am trying to work through this 

I don't wanna be a reflection 

I'm so bored with this rejection 

I don't wanna be a reflection 

I don't need your direction 

I don't wanna be a reflection 

I'm so bored with this rejection 

I don't wanna be a reflection 

I don't need your direction
