lyrics

Say it straight with a smile
hold up your right hand
it's a loaded gun;
look at the hole
Is there a self you're pointing at?
Is there a center?
Can it hold
can it hold air?
Can it hold water
or fire or earth?
If you pulled the trigger,
would it pass right through you
and do you no harm?
Or would you find
something like your self?
And they would say
What a nice smile
what a nice smile
Say it Straight with a Smile
