I just got tired of all the negativity that I've been hearing lately. So, not only do you get the lyrics to this awesome song, but you get snippets from some others as well. Enjoy...and remember to smile.


Shut Up and Smile by Bowling for Soup

It's not the end of the world
In fact it's not even the end of the summer
But thank God the TV is on
'Cause there's no way we could know
Anything that's going down
Or how we're supposed to be feeling about it
I can't tell you how much I wish we could shut up and smile, yeah

Sail around the world and tell them all to keep singing it
la la la la la la
All we need's a harmony and we'll convince the world to sing
la la la la la la
Throw your arms around someone (throw your arms around someone)
Maybe spread a little love
I know it sounds a little dumb (or maybe I’m a little drunk)
But all we need is some ice cream and a hug

Take a good look around
Does life really suck
Are we just complaining
I hope that this mic is on (testing 1, 2)
'Cause I'm on a roll here
I hope this is making some sense
I hope that you'll throw up your hands and sing it
And tell all the haters that they should just shut up and smile, yeah

Sail around the world and tell them all to keep singing it
la la la la la la
Wll we need's a harmony and we'll convince the world to sing
la la la la la la
Throw your arms around someone (throw your arms around someone)
Maybe spread a little love
I know it sounds a little dumb (or maybe I’m a little drunk)
But all we need is some ice cream

All we need is love and beer
And old school metal and holiday cheer
To be happy
(All you need is someone near)
Like Ben and Jerry
(To hold you close and pretend that they care)

Can we all just get along now
We found something that we all have in common now
We can hold hands, do keg stands
Water skiing sounds great to me now

Sail around the world and tell them all to keep singing it
la la la la la la
All we need's a harmony and we'll convince the world to sing
la la la la la la
Throw your arms around someone (throw your arms around someone)
maybe spread a little love
I know it sounds a little dumb (or maybe we’re a little drunk)
But all we need is some ice cream and a hug




I know why you wanna hate me
I know why you wanna hate me
I know why you wanna hate me
'Cause hate is all that the world has ever seen lately
Now I know why you wanna hate me
--Limp Bisket




Don't spit on me and shame yourself
Because you wish you were someone else
You look so clean but you spread your dirt
As if you think that words don't hurt
You build up walls no one can climb
The things you do should be a crime
You're the queen of superficiality
Keep your lies out of my reality
And when you're nice it's just a pose
You're one of those

Haters
Traitors to the human race
Haters
What a drag, what a waste
I'd like to see them disappear
They don't belong anywhere
Haters

Spinning a web that's hard to see
Of envy, greed, and jealousy
Feelin' angry but you don't know why
Why don't you look me in the eye?
You want my friends, you want my clothes
You're one of those

Haters
Haters

Different life forms, different species
Broken promises and treaties
Talkin' 'bout exterminating
Not the haters, Just the hating
--Hilary Duff




People don't stop to think what they're saying sometimes and the effect it can have on a person.

Animals strike, not from malice, but because they want to live. It is the same with those who criticize. They desire our blood, not our pain.

--Michael Jackson
