What if you find out everyone that's in your life

Is only being paid off

By a TV studio

And every conversation everyone's had with you

Is scripted by the writer's

Living in Los Angeles



Smile for the camera... 

Put on a show for the viewers back home

Hide the truth so they'll never know

You hate what you got but you love what you got

So smile for the cameras that keep rolling

(Smile for the camera that keep rolling)

Smile for the camera that keep rolling



And what if you find out everything that's in your life

Was only put in front of you

By people waiting for you to fall

And every time you trip up, it's all just a game

Nothing's really mattered

But nothing was as bad as you thought it was

Smile for the camera... 

Put on a show for the viewers back home

Hide the truth so they'll never know

You hate what you got but you love what you got

So smile for the cameras that keep rolling

(Smile for the camera that keep rolling)

Smile for the camera that keep rolling



To make it the recession it was all for you

Affection and obsession from the message crew

But little did they all know you're just scared

You're just scared, you're just scared

You're just scared of when they'll write you off your own show



Put on a show for the viewers back home

Hide the truth so they'll never know

You hate what you got but you love what you got

So smile for the cameras that keep rolling

(Smile for the camera that keep rolling)

Smile for the camera that keep rolling



Love what you got 'cause you love what you got

Love what you got 'cause you love what you got

Love what you got 'cause you love what you got



Smile for them



Love what you got 'cause you love what you got

Love what you got 'cause you love what you got

Love what you got 'cause you love what you got
