The Dresden Dolls

Sad but true the truth can turn
your smile to a frown.

Sing for the bartender, sing for the janitor, sing.
Sing for the cameras, sing for the animals, sing.
Sing for the children shooting the children, sing.
Sing for the teachers who told you that you couldn't sing.
Just sing.

Sad but true the facts of life are bound
to get you down.
