A song about the pretentious smiles of lying politicians who announce endless extensions of lockdowns:
Smile, a disappointing smile
Your smile can bring bad news to me
Don't let my TV find you on,
'Cause that would bring a tear to me
This land has lost its glory
We need a brand new story
Now my love,
Right now
Just as in other times,
Your smile can't show me how, my love
Talk in ever twisting words
And complicate them all for me
And I don't need such words in life
Don't ever try to call to me
We know that you don't even mean
A single word you say
It's only words, and lying words you have
Please take them all away . . .
(Sung to the tune of "Words", Bee Gees)
