Shut-Up and Smile Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Its not the end of the world
In fact its not even the end of the summer
But thank God the TV is on
'Cuz there's no way we could knowAnything that is goin' down
Or how were supposed to be feeling about it
I cant tell you how much I wish we
Could shut up and smile, yeaSail around the world and tell
Them all to keep singing it
La la la la la la
All we needs a harmony and we'll

Convince the world to sing
La la la la la laThrow your arms around someone
Throw your arms around someone
Maybe spread a little love
I know it sounds a little dumb
Maybe I'm a little drunk
But all we need is some ice cream and a hugTake a good look around
Does life really suck?
Are we just complaining
I hope that this mic is on'Cuz 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, yeaSail around the world and tell
Them all to keep singing it
La la la la la la
All we needs a harmony and we'll
Convince the world to sing
La la la la la laThrow your arms around someone
Throw your arms around someone
Maybe spread a little love
I know it sounds a little dumb
Maybe I'm a little drunk
But all we need is some ice creamAll 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 careCan 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 nowSail around the world and tell
Them all to keep singing it
La la la la la la
All we needs a harmony and we'll
Convince the world to sing
La la la la la laThrow your arms around someone
Throw your arms around someone
Maybe spread a little love
I know it sounds a little dumb
Maybe I'm a little drunk
But all we need is some ice cream and a hugAll we need is some ice cream and a hug
All we need is some ice cream and a hug
All we need is some ice cream and a hug

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Bowling for Soup (acronym: BFS, or sometimes B4S) is a pop punk band based in Denton, Texas (but originally from Wichita Falls, Texas) formed in 1994 from the ruins of an old metal band. Quoting Jaret Reddick, the lead singer, "we wanted to make happy music". They're known for their often humorous lyrics, upbeat guitar riffs, and Jaret's distinctive voice.

They are best known for their singles "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" in 2002 on Drunk Enough To Dance which was nominated for a 2003 Grammy Award for "Best Pop Performance by a Group or Duo" and "1985" (originally written by Mitch Allan of SR-71) in 2004 on A Hangover You Don't Deserve. Speaking with Songfacts about "Girl All The Bad Girls Want" in a 2010 interview, Reddick said: "'Girl All The Bad Guys Want' was my very first co-write ever, and me and Butch Walker sat in a room and literally wrote that song in 30 minutes. I mean, it was done."

The band's name is derived from comedian Steve Martin's "Bowling for Sh*t" routine from his 1978 comedy album, Wild and Crazy Guy, itself a reference to Bowling for Dollars. Jaret Reddick has also stated that at the end of his last performance with his old band one of the members came on stage and proclaimed "Come back next week when we play with our new band... Bowling For Soup!". This was supposed be to be joke name, but since they couldn't think of anything better the name stuck. Their single '1985' can be found on the UK and the Norwegian editions of Singstar Rocks for the PS2.

They have also became hits on Radio Disney with edits of "1985", "Punk Rock 101", "High School Never Ends", and the inclusion of their version of "I Melt With You" in the Disney movie "Sky High". They have also written and recorded "Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day" as the theme song for Disney's "Phineas and Ferb"
