[Verse 1]
I see that smile
I see that smile
I see that smile on your face

We hear you cry
We hear you wail
We see that smile on your face

[Verse 2]
We see you laugh
We see you dance
We take that away every day

We see you cry
We turn your head
Then we slap your face

[Chorus 1]
Bow down
Bow down
Bow down live your life
Head down
Head down
Head down hide that smile

Head high
Head high
Head high you've got to smile
Head high
Head high
Head high you've got to smile

[Verse 3]
I see you try
I see you fail
Some things never change

We hear you cry
We hear you wail
We steal that smile on your face

[Chorus 2]
Bow down
Bow down
Bow down live your life
Head down
Head down
Head down hide that smile

Head high
Head high
Head high you've got to smile
Head high
Head high
Head high like a song you like

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
