Rise my son, weary and bleary eyed
You gotta fight, my son
Seek out good souls cause they will be the ones
To hang around and prosper from
Right now it's all that you can do

You've just gotta smile and hang out with intelligent people
You've just gotta smile and hang out with intelligent people

So come, my son, shake off your hate for everyone
'Cause your hate will only break you
You gotta try, my son
To stimulate your flattened state
Crying now can't help your case
This is no time for you to be alone

It's time for you to smile and hang out with intelligent people
You've just gotta smile and hang out with intelligent people
And hang out with intelligent people

Arise my son, seek out good souls cause they will be the ones
My life has shown me that, right now it's the best that you can do

You've just gotta smile and hang out with intelligent people
You've just gotta smile and hang out with intelligent people
You've just gotta smile and hang out with intelligent people

And hang out with intelligent people
