The Things That Make Us Smile
Noise, grunge, too much distortion, crappy recording
One love.
Story behind the song
Happy go-lucky metal song about Dan Fogelberg and satanism. Yay life.
Lyrics
Kittens and lollipops, flowers in bloom!
Rainbows and unicorns and leprachauns too!
Yeah!
Sunshine and fairy tales, giggles and groans,
The ocean, the sky, and being back home!
Yeah!
Trees, and spring, the notebook, love,
Beaches, peaches, and little ladybugs!
Yeah!
Warm colours, sunsets, Dan Fogelberg!
Pudding, art, hugs, birds!
Yeah!
These are the things,
That make us smile.
Something we need,
Every once in a while.
These are the things,
That make life great.
Let's learn to love,
Instead of hate.
War, death, hunger, greed!
Poverty and debt, children in need!
Yeah!
The homeless, the sick, the dyring, the dead!
Malicious intent, gunshot to the head!
Yeah!
Satanism, sacrifice, extremist views!
Slavery, abandonment, and genocide too!
Yeah!
Homicide, manslaughter, domestic abuse!
Drunk driving, heroin and heavy drug use!
Yeah!
These are the things,
That make us sad.
We forget all the good things,
That we had.
So drop the sword,
And pick up a pen.
We'll rewrite the world,
'Til it's normal again.
