Lyrics
Do yourself a favor, wake up to your mind,
Life is what you make it, you see, but still you’re blind,
Get yourself together, give before you take,
You’ll find out the hard way, soon you’re gonna break,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Smiling Phases, going places,
And if they bust for you, just keep on smiling thru and thru.
And you’ll be amazed at the gaze on their faces as they sentence you.

You don’t need a lawyer when you’re in a fix,
Someone got to pay up, your friends are full of tricks,
How could you love something that you just can’t buy,
Own up to the truth girl, your mother’s gone on by,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Smiling Phases, bring you flowers,
If you can line them up, and you can watch them grow for hours.
And you’ll be amazed at the way that they stay as they walk by your door.

Do yourself a favor, wake up to your mind,
Life is what you make it, you see, but still you’re blind,
Get yourself together, give before you take,
You’ll find out the hard way, soon you’re gonna break,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Smiling Phases, going places,
And if they bust for you, just keep on smiling thru and thru.
And you’ll be amazed at the gaze on their faces as they sentence you.
