Why Not Smile, lyric by REM

from the songs album Up

the concrete broke your fall
to hear you speak of it
i'd have done anything
i would do anything
i feel like a cartoon brick wall
to hear you speak of it
you've been so sad
it makes me worry
why not smile
you've been sad for a while
why not smile

i would do anything
to hear you speak of it
why not smile
you've been sad for a while
you've been sad for a while
