A song about the messed up mentality of many small towns that originally was written as a poem. Hence the short poem sang twice in song form.

lyrics

The city of Smiles, is a small town. A few thousand people here, world can't get 'em down. But a look to the distance I see something blind. Never resistance just a rare kind. Hopeless devotion to a town that wont pay. You'll smile for now until it's the ending day. Cause we can pick up the messy streets, but we can't change the motivation oh how we wonder how it ever began.
