The Frown Song

  • Tread slowly from the car to the spa
    Like a weary war-torn refugee
    Crossing the border with her starving child
    It's a struggle just to get to shiatsu
    Present the waitress with your allergy card
    And tell all of your problems
    Leave no tip at all
    Down at the shoe store with your friends
    Speculate who might be fucking a guru

    Rock on, rock on with your fashionable frown
    Rock on, rock on. Spread the love around
    Rock on, rock on with a fashionable frown
    Spread the love around

    Hard to remember how we managed before
    We could afford real and nervous breakdowns
    Or before the anthropology store
    Was erected on Indian burial grounds
    So really don't you see a little of yourself in the bathroom attendant that you just scowled at?
    Or the child who's hiding inside as you wipe the smile off a teenage barista

    Rock on, rock on with your fashionable frown
    Rock on, rock on. Spread the love around
    Rock on, rock on with a fashionable frown
    Spread the love around

    Spread the love around
    Alright

    You're gonna be alright, baby
    You're gonna be alright, baby

    Floating back from the spa to the car
    State of bliss, and it wasn't the steam room
    Sometimes life's not so bad
    Now we know who's been fucking the guru

    Rock on, rock on with your fashionable frown
    Rock on, rock on. Spread the love around
    Rock on, rock on with a fashionable frown
    Spread the love around

    Smile for us now
    Do it upside down Writer/s: BEN FOLDS, BENJAMIN SCOTT FOLDS
