 In a place that everypony loathes
The creatures there reap what they sow
Because they all know of the sorrow of this world
But they choose to ignore it to bury their woes

Because this world baby, it’s you and me
And I intend to go down in history
So come with me girl, if you’ll oblige
Life’s just one big room so everypony come inside

Now I heard yesterday that-

“Attention Ponyville. I have a very important announcement for you all. My name is S.M.I.L.E agent Sweetie Drops, and we at S.M.I.L.E have been assigned to Ponyville for investigations. Now I understand the name S.M.I.L.E carries a lot of dramatic weight, but let me assure you: we at S.M.I.L.E do not mean you or your town any harm. Nor should you worry about the purpose of these investigations. There have just been several abnormal reports from Ponyville that have become impossible to ignore. We understand that Ponyville is not used to visits from S.M.I.L.E, but there really is nothing to fear. These investigations happen all the time without anypony getting hurt. Most likely, there is nothing wrong.

“We at S.M.I.L.E will do our best to keep from bothering you in your day to day lives. However, there will be times where we may ask you some questions, and we implore you to be as cooperative with us as you possibly can during the questioning. If you have any questions, visit me in the Town Hall at the Guest Offices section. I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have. However, do not ask about the nature of these investigations. They are classified and thus we are unable to answer them. Don’t ask these questions twice. 

“Most likely, you’ll barely even notice us, and we’ll leave Ponyville in peace in just a few weeks. As long as you cooperate with us, nothing should go wrong. We thank you for your understanding, and you can now return to your music.”

“Long live Equestria, and have a good night.”

-speaking with your pride

Because this world baby, it’s you and me
And I intend to survive and go down in history
So come with me girl, if you’ll oblige
Life’s just one big room so everypony come inside

Now heed these words and heed them well 
Stay in this world even when you hear those bells
Because think of all the stories to tell
The younger ones when it’s their time to enter hell

Hello everypony, this is Time Turner, temporarily filling in for DJ-Pon3 while she’s taking a leave of abscence. That was “Come Inside” by Blue Mitchell. Interesting story about that one, Mitchelll apparently wrote this song based off her experiences in the Zebrican lands out west. Surely I wouldn't want to live in that world. So to all those ponies complaining about their life and how hard we have it, be grateful you were at least born in Equestria, and not in the lands of savagery. Next up is “Little Sunshine” by Miss Allister. Enjoy, and long live Equestria.”
