OPERATION IVY
- Smiling Lyrics / with translationsAt the party at the bus stop at the bar
You're looking at women because your score is under par
When you find her it doesn't mean anything
You wonder why yourr life is so boring
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
You would gladly waste it just to save face
Her desire is your wish with out it you are lost
Integrity is fragile but you ignored the cost
Smiling when your freinds are watching you
One night stand car keys in hand
You've fullfilled your gender's sexual demand
Are you feeling insecure and empty
When you're rushing to report it to your peers!?!?
You're looking at women because your score is under par
When you find her it doesn't mean anything
You wonder why yourr life is so boring
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
You would gladly waste it just to save face
Her desire is your wish with out it you are lost
Smiling when your freinds are watching you
One night stand car keys in hand
You've fullfilled your gender's sexual demand
Are you feeling insecure and empty
When you're rushing to report it to your peers!?!?
