The cover of a magazine,
nothing but paper dream
Just another fantasy for sale
Telling me what I need,
what should I do
Who should I be
That stuff don't matter to me at all

Chorus:
The sky is blue and the sun is shining
i feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds
Im free as a bird and my spirits flyin'
and thats enough to keep me smilin'.

Guru man on my TV set
selling secrets to happiness
1-800-change your life today
Dreams I've got my own
I ain't looking for a yellow brick road
I'm just gonna go my own way

Repeat Chorus

Smilin'
Smilin'

Repeat Chorus

I'm still smilin'
Gotta keep on smilin'
I'm still smilin'
