Hide the truth so they'll never know
(Smile for the cameras)
(Smile for the cameras that keep rolling)
Little did they all know
Affectionate obsession from the masses grew
Hide the truth so they'll never know
Put on a show for the viewers back home
Love what you got, can't you love what you got?
The banquet, the recession, it was all for you
Nothing's really mattered and nothing was as bad as you thought it was
Love what you got, can't you love what you got?
Love what you got, can't you love what you got?
Put on the show for the viewers back home
Put on a show for the viewers back home
You're just scared of when
So smile for the cameras that keep rolling
What if you find out everything that's in your life
Smile for the cameras that keep rolling
Smile for the cameras that keep rolling
Was scripted by the writers living in Los Angeles
Smile for the cameras that keep rolling
So smile for the cameras that keep rolling
(Smile for the cameras that keep rolling)
Love what you got, can't you love what you got?
(Smile for the cameras that keep rolling)
You hate what you got, can't you love what you got?
You're just scared, you're just scared
Hide the truth so they'll never know
(Smile for them)
And every time you trip up, it's all just a game
They'll write you off your own show
You hate what you got, can't you love what you got?
Love what you got, can't you love what you got?
So smile for the cameras that keep rolling
Was only put in front of you by people waiting for you to fall
And every conversation everyone's had with you
Smile for the camera
You hate what you got, can't you love what you got?
Smile for the camera
