I have to conceal from them all the pain in me

Put it into jails of my brain

Yes I know that I have no right to let them see

But it'll nibble the bars to burst in anyway

All the sweat of my life to give you a grin

Please laugh at me on TV screen 


Can you see behind that smile

A face twisted with disgust

Can you hear beyond my laugh

A resonant death-rattle

I go on stage and face the void

Enjoy my show 


I have to conceal from them all the pain in me

Put it into jails of my brain

I need no recognition or even small glory

Just let bring sun when in your lives it rains

All the sweat of my life to give you a grin

Please laugh at me on TV screen 


Can you see behind that smile

A face twisted with disgust

Can you hear beyond my laugh

A resonant death-rattle

I go on stage and face the void

Enjoy my show
