Now when life has turned you upside down
You feel kicked to the kerb, you feel beat to the ground
When all that mudding and all that luck you got ain't down but is leaving
When circumstance has you feeling upset
You feel hollow inside, well I'm willin' to bet
You put a smile on your face, you won't get mad, you get even
Don't get mad, get even, solid advice I believe in
And if for no other reason, you know, things will be coming your way
And when time has got your back to the wall
You feel your life has slowed to a crawl
You put a smile on your face, don't get mad get even
When slipping down to the end of your rope
There's no flicker of life, there's no glimmer of hope
You just lookin' for something in life that's a little more pleasin'
You should get down on your knees, when you're rollin' the dice
If you're willing to gamble with the rest of your life
You put a smile on your face, don't get mad get even
Don't get mad, get even, solid advice I truly believe in
And if for no other reason, you know, things will be coming your way
And when time has got your back to the wall
You feel your life has slowed to a crawl
You put a smile on your face, don't get mad get even
Every breath you take is filled with despair
You try so hard but you're going nowhere
All you see is another day another month another season
Try putting faith in yourself, if you still do it right
Don't ever back down, don't ever give up the fight
You put a smile on your face, don't get mad
Put a smile on your face, don't get mad
You put a smile on your face, don't get mad
Get even
