Lyrics for The Frown Song
Tread slowly from the car to the spa Like a weary war-torn refugee Crossing the border ith your starving child It's a struggle just to get to shiatzu Present the waitress with your allergy card and tell her all of your problems Leave no tip at all Down to the shoe store with your friends Speculate who might be fucking the guru Rock on, rock on, with a fashionable frown Rock on, rock on and spread the love around Rock on, rock on with a fashionable frown Spread the love around Or do remember how we managed before We could afford real nervous breakdowns Or before the anthropologie store Was erected on indian burial grounds So really don't you see a little of yourself In the bathroom attendant that you just scowled at? Or the child who's hiding inside As you wipe the smile off a teenage barista? Rock on, rock on, with a fashionable frown Rock on, rock on and spread the love around Rock on, rock on with a fashionable frown Spread the love around Spread the love around Alright You're gonna be alright baby You're gonna be alright baby Floating back from the spa to the car A state of bliss and it wasn't the steam room Sometimes life's not so bad Now we know who's been fucking the guru Rock on, rock on, with a fashionable frown Rock on, rock on and spread the love around Rock on, rock on with your fashionable frown Spread the love around Smile for us now Do it upside down
