Optimist Or Pessimist lyrics

Chaos, the rule of the game

Spinning, as optimism fades

Confusion becomes law

Eclipsing hope, the pessimist said

If you want to change the world, forget it

the future's not in our hands

If you want to change the world, forget it

The pigs already set it

Freedom has been stripped away

Change it, this corrosion fades

Slowly we turn

As the pessimist spits these pointed words

If you want to change the world, forget it

The future's not in our hands

If you want to change the world, forget it

The pigs already set it

The optimist understands

why the world 's gone down the drain

The pessimist never bends,

constricting thought in vain

From the pessimist's point of view

there's nothing we can do

As I paint this picture gray

and taste the pain

I'll play the optimist

The only world I know is the world I cling to

It's a world that I'd want to save

Optimist or pessimist, what am I supposed to be?

If you want to change the world, forget it

the future's not in our hands

If you want to change the world, forget it

The pigs already set it

The optimist understands

why the world 's gone down the drain

The pessimist never bends,

constricting thought in vain

From the pessimist's point of view

there's nothing we can do

As I paint this picture gray

and taste the pain

I'll play the optimist
