This song talks about toxic masculinity. He is talking about how stupid the chase is for men when one night stands are so unfulfilling and the only reason to have them is to brag about it to your friends. It’s all a huge waste of time to him.

[Intro]
Smiling
Friends
Watching you
[Verse 1]
At the party, at the bus stop, at the bar
You're looking at women 'cause your score is under par
When you find her, it doesn't mean anything
You wonder why your life is so boring
[Pre-Chorus]
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
You would gladly waste it just to, just to save face
Her desire was your wish, and without it you are lost
Integrity is fragile, but you ignored the cost
[Chorus]
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching you
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching you
[Verse 2]
One night stand, car keys in hand
You've fulfilled your gender's sexual demands
Are you feeling insecure and empty
When you're rushing to report to your peers?
[Pre-Chorus]
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
You would gladly waste it just to, just to save face
Her desire was your wish, and without it you are lost
Integrity is fragile, but you ignored the cost
[Chorus]
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching you
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching you
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching you
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching you
Smiling when your friends are watching
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Smiling when your friends are watching
[Outro]
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Smiling
Friends
Watching you
