Don't blame the children
Blame the teachers, they taught the children
Smile out of style
Laugh on the wars, screw face back in town
Smile out of style
Laugh on the wars, screw face back in town

Everyone's face you look on
Wears a frown
And the feeling you get
Puts you down

Cost of living is rising high
While poverty flowing
The rain is falling
But no seeds are growing

So smile out of style
Laugh on the wars, screw face back in town
Smile out of style
Laugh on the wars, screw face back in town

Wanti, wanti
Can't get it
Getti, getti
Dem no want it

Havi, havi no wanti while
Wanti, wanti, can't get it, so

Smile out of style
Laugh on the wars, screw face back in town
Smile out of style
Laugh on the wars, screw face back in town

Smile out of style
Laugh on the wars, laugh on the wars
Smile out of style
Laugh on the wars, laugh on the wars, yeah

Smile out of style
Laugh on the wars you face back in town
Don't blame the children
Blame the teachers for they teach the children

Everyone's face you look on
Wears a frown
And the feeling they give you
Just puts you down

Cost of living is rising high while
Poverty flowing
The rain is falling
But no seeds are growing

So smile out of style
Laugh on the wars, screw face back in town
Smile out of style
Laugh on the wars, screw face back in town again

Watch yourself, mind what you say, oh yeah
Let me tell you, I wanna tell you that
Smile out of style
Stop on the walk

Don't blame the children
Blame the teachers, they taught the children
Don't blame the children
Blame the school-teachers,  they taught the children
