1, 2, 3, uh

It’s not my imagination, there’s a gun in my back
Well, there’s ten of them and I’m tied to the railroad track
Freed yourself from the law and the Lord above
Whip it on baby
Hit me with that pistol
Whip me, like it and call it love

What you gonna do when your luck runs out?
Don’t smile
What you gonna do when the milk goes bad?
Oh, don’t you smile
How you gonna tell ’em what it’s all about?
Don’t smile
What you gonna do when you feel so mad?
Don’t you know what’s good for you little child?

Got to tell you baby, this dog is getting kinda tough
Spring chicken, hopping through, getting mighty rough
I said “hey there little kitten, are you lost?”
I’m a big bad wolf, baby
But you can just call me the boss

What you gonna do when your luck runs out?
Don’t smile
What you gonna do when the toast gets burnt?
Don’t you smile
How you gonna tell ’em what it’s all about?
Don’t smile
What you gonna do when you feel so bad?
Don’t you know what’s good for you little child?

Don’t smile

Everybody got to submit to what I see
Oh, you and I baby, baby, living how we meant to be
I slipped and slide on some crazy fever dream

Something’s got a hold of me and dragging me down
There’s no room left to live, no air to breathe in this town
Knife in my heart, lies, deceit and sin
Might as well face it baby, you can’t win

What you gonna do when your luck runs out?
Don’t smile
[Don’t smile]
What you gonna do when the Korma’s cold?
Oh , don’t you smile
How you gonna tell ’em what it’s all about?
Don’t smile
[Don’t smile]
What you gonna do when you feel so sad?
Don’t you know what’s good for you little child?
How you gonna show just what you got
[Don’t smile]
Oh, better run baby
What you gonna do when the sun don’t shine
Ha ha
[Don’t smile]
Fell better than I do baby
What you gonna do when the words don’t rhyme?
[Don’t smile]
What you gonna do when you feel so sad?
Don’t smile
[Don’t smile]
Don’t you know what’s good for you little child?
[Don’t smile]
[Don’t smile]
