Lyrics Smile Out A Style - Max Romeo, The Upsetters

Smile Out A Style

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 want it 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… (repeated)
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
Smile out of style… (etc)
Watch yourself, mind what you say.
Oh yeah!
Let me tell you, I wanna tell you that
Smile out of style… (etc)
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
