Iron Smiles

Come about on your own volition
and make sure you divulge every detail
so we can grasp the worth you were born with
Come bearing the nourished future plans
and make it known how special you really are
so we can take the knock in style

It's a challenge enough to stand in the sitting room

And if you need the whip, it's curled in hand
Never forget who gave you the power
So take a hint - you can take a hit
unless that armoured exterior is as false as your smile
Oh you can't let them know - not now - not now

Come about for the predestined purpose
and leave the wit and references to their elitist devices
so we can struggle to hate you in the dark
Come again and don't hold back your resentment
and make your club count waver in the summer wind
Holly tree sting and Hollywood style

It's an enigma you refuse to acknowledge anyone for

And if you need the flattery to prove your point
Never forget who willed to give it its claim
So take a hint - take the damn hit
Your ego should be able to withstand it
unless you removed the iron smile
But no - they'll never know
