Lyrics I Wish I Could Smile - Sonic Boom Six

I Wish I Could Smile

I heard a funny thing today
What a way
The little things that people say
Maybe you’ve heard this one before
Well I’m sure
You’ve probably heard this once or more
Well I was sat inside a taxi ride just chatting as you do
Driver he turns around to me
Fancy free
And tells the one about the black man and the tree
One to another such a harmless joke
Just sticks and stones
One to another now
We got a line to draw
In this everyday war
I never asked so what’s he telling me for, oh I
Feel like it’s best to ignore
Just want to look at the floor
Woah
Who’s that knocking at the door?
This is Paul
He’s been redundant since April
He saw a different coloured skin
Replace him
While getting paid much less and all
And now he hates them all he’s
Poison minded
No punchline
No laughter here at all
One to another now
We got a line to draw in this everyday war
I never asked so what’s he telling me for, oh I
Feel like it’s best to ignore
Just want to look at the floor
Woah
Now we got a line to draw in this everyday war
He’s telling me I guess he’s told it once before, am I
Content with turning the cheek
Or do I stand up and speak?
Woah
One to another
Its just sticks and stones
Just break my bones
One to another now
We got a line to draw in this everyday war
I never asked so what’s he telling me for, Oh I
Feel like it’s best to ignore
Just want to look at the floor
Woah
Now we got a line to draw
In this everyday war
He’s telling me i guess he’s told it once before, am I
Content with turning the cheek
Or do I stand up and speak?
Woah
If we’re gonna sit endure
Then we’re making it more
We’re in the problem if we won’t be like a cure, until
These attitudes are no more
Well everyday there is war
Me say war
How I wish I could smile
Let it go once a while
Give an inch take a mile
And he’ll be telling it again
