Smile and Say Goodbye Songtext
von My Life in Black and White

Hold tight misery
Process symmetry
The fight of your life, gray or black and white
Let the chaos swallow me
This ain′t nothing new
Shatter my point of view
Watch the world change while I stay the same
Give up or give in

Bow to the god you love
Or to the god you hate
The point of blame always ends the same
A dishonest and weak escape
Thirty-one years old
Cling to a tired mold
Patterned to repeat, will it rescue me?
Will these chains set me free?


Well you bust your knuckles
Break your back
It ain't over
The circle opens
Youth is forgotten
Smile and say goodbye

We′re tired, we're bleeding, we're barely alive
Sha-na-na-na we′ve seen the light
The cause is the cure but we press on
Sha-na-na-na we′ve seen the light
Sha-na-na-na we've seen the light

Stubborn prideful self
In love with your own hell
Dying scenes breed redundancies
The writing′s on the wall
This ain't nothing new
Shatter my point of view
I watch the world change while you stay the same
You haven′t got a clue

Well you bust your knuckles
Break your back
It ain't over
The circle opens
Youth is forgotten
Smile and say goodbye


We′re tired, we're bleeding, we're barely alive
Sha-na-na-na we′ve seen the light
The cause is the cure but we press on
Sha-na-na-na we′ve seen the light
Sha-na-na-na we've seen

Rock and roll my obsession
In the moment no distraction
(Rock and roll will save us all)
(Rock and roll will save us all)
Running low and running ragged
In the moment bruised and battered
(Rock and roll will save us all)
(Rock and roll will save us all)
Rock and roll my salvation
In the moment no distraction
(Rock and roll will save us all)
(Rock and roll will save us all)

′Cuz we're tired, we′re bleeding, we're barely alive
Sha-na-na-na we′ve seen the light
The cause is the cure but we press on
Sha-na-na-na we've seen the light
Sha-na-na-na we've seen the light
