[Verse 1]
We were always taught since childhood, yeah, the lesson was clear,
"Don't you hold a grudge inside, don't you live in fear!"
"Be polite and be a good kid!" — that's the line they'd feed.
But that's all in the past, guys, a forgotten creed.
You understand with every year, the wisdom that it brings,
You gotta swallow down your pride, gotta clip your wings.
Hide all your emotions deeper, lock 'em down inside,
So they don't spit into your soul, where you've got nothin' to hide.

[Pre-Chorus]
Put on a smile-mask, make it look so damn slick,
And circle 'round 'em like a hawk, you gotta learn the trick.
Stock up on acquaintances, the ones with all the ties,
And get some dirt on every one, behind their phony eyes.

[Chorus]
Honesty is not in favor, it won't get you far!
A lie can move a mountain, get you any car!
So why's it so disgusting in my soul, like bitter rust?
Maybe in this filthy game, there's some kind of truth, some must?
Sincerity just thickens colors! Puts you in the blast!
So put on your smile-mask! And make the moment last!

[Verse 2]
The world's a stage, we're actors, but the script is grim and fake,
Everyone just wants a piece of someone else's cake.
Kindness is a weakness, sincerity's a crime,
Got a default smile on my face, just to bide my time.
You say the things they wanna hear, you shake the proper hands,
The winner isn't who is right, but who understands,
Who stepped across his principles, left conscience at the door,
And now he's reaping all the prizes, always wanting more.

[Outro]
Sincerity just thickens colors...
We put on our smile-masks...
Masks...
Masks...
