Smile Like a Switch

You smile on and off like a switch
I write silly songs to get rich
But it's honest work when
You've tried just as hard to stay sick

Grow old and grow out your mistakes
Firm grasp or occasionally sane
Nothing I do or say
Make peace with your face when it's fake

I'll give you what I've got to give
Life's hard but its harder to live
And there's always dead ends
We act like we are on sinking ships
