Might Never Happen

All of those thoughts inside your head
Keep you awake when you’re in bed
They chase round and round’til they’ve had enough
And then the alarm goes off

You have a cup of coffee, look out at the world
Then a little voice that no-one else heard, says
If you can’t put on a face you’d better not go out
‘Cos you know what the people will shout

Give us a grin! Give us a grin!
It might never happen, so give us a grin
Give us a smile! Give us a smile!
It might never happen anyway

You catch up on the world on the internet
An hour later you’ve not stopped scrolling yet
Politicians lying, they’ve destroyed the Amazon
Then someone with their CAPS LOCK on, says

Give us a grin! Give us a grin!
It might never happen, so give us a grin
Give us a smile! Give us a smile!
It might never happen anyway

You go to work in a busy office
Everybody looks like you, except for the bosses
They call you in to discuss your attitude
And they tell you what you need to do

Give us a grin! Give us a grin!
It might never happen, so give us a grin
Give us a smile! Give us a smile!
It might never happen anyway

Give us a grin! Give us a grin!
It might never happen, so give us a grin
Give us a smile! Give us a smile!
It might never happen anyway
