Dark Politics Electric Six

[Intro]
Ooh!

[Verse 1]
Dark politics leads to the best drag
If you're sad about the mess we're in
For all the negatives about the Reichstag
Look what it did for East Berlin
Authoritarians beget subversion
Remember this when you get bummed out
So give your pretty painted eyes unto a virgin
As the buyer rubs another one out on you
Ooh yeah!
Well night just fell, we've been here before
We can't find the keys to turn off the war
But the optimist in me is never sad
The glass is half full but the water tastes bad
'Cause the big lie has already spread
And nobody cares how many books you've read
So just enjoy yourself and make some art
Then set it on fire and rip it apart

[Chorus]
Smile, smile
It will be dark here for a good long while
And ooh there will be times when you want to die
Smile, smile
And even though you may be oozing bile
And ooh it's neutralized by the salty tears you cry
