	Story Behind the Song When I was watching about this on the news, they interviewed a teenage girl who was the shooter's friend. She mentioned he "smoked too much dope" as if it was a real minor point. She also mentioned the fact that he always had a smile on his face which got to me. I got the hook thinking about the line "He always had a smile on his face". I love classical music and that shows up in the song. I also like major 7ths and 9ths in this feel of a song. Lyrics He grew up in a whisper, Society Where we always keep our indoor voices low Happy and go-lucky like the people on TV But his friends say he does too much dope you know Some kids at school picked on him He hinted at revenge But real men take it with a smile “I oughta bring a gun” he once had said; “and mow them down” but he’d laugh and that smile, replaced the worried frown Chorus He always had a smile on his face (3x) The Newsmen and the cops examined every fine detail The Clergyman said “ It’s a mystery, to me” Keep a stiff upper lip and hold your anger in That advice just doesn’t work in reality (Chorus)
