Spoken Like a True Optimist (Or Half Full of Shit)
Everything is gonna be alright now
Yeah everything might be ok
We found ourselves the real thing this time
We're gonna get to try it our own way
Ivory towers all will tumble
Victim to the weight of leaden pride
Institutions with a sound foundation
Still succumb to a seismic slide
If you give your time and
Donate every spare dime
You can come along for the ride
It's the dawning of a brand new day now
The country's son is gonna rise up high
Shining light upon the deepest pockets
Turning ceilings into open skies
We've found the symbol with the right credentials
The pedigree to expose their lies
He's cashing in on his family's name
Lending visions of his fathers eyes
If you give your time and
Donate every spare dime
You can come along for the ride
If you give your life and
Pay every single dime
We're gonna take you for a ride
Suddenly it's all becoming clear
Pages torn out from the story books you've read
Stick with me and you've got nothing left to fear
Unless you're scared of death
Its time to rise up out of isolation
Set our sights upon a common line
Settle on a central destination
Show our hands stand and mobilize
Behind him we're guaranteed triumphant
The whole of his story is on our side
Yeah everything is gonna be okay now
Everything is gonna be alright
Yeah everything might be ok
We found ourselves the real thing this time
We're gonna get to try it our own way
Ivory towers all will tumble
Victim to the weight of leaden pride
Institutions with a sound foundation
Still succumb to a seismic slide
If you give your time and
Donate every spare dime
You can come along for the ride
It's the dawning of a brand new day now
The country's son is gonna rise up high
Shining light upon the deepest pockets
Turning ceilings into open skies
We've found the symbol with the right credentials
The pedigree to expose their lies
He's cashing in on his family's name
Lending visions of his fathers eyes
If you give your time and
Donate every spare dime
You can come along for the ride
If you give your life and
Pay every single dime
We're gonna take you for a ride
Suddenly it's all becoming clear
Pages torn out from the story books you've read
Stick with me and you've got nothing left to fear
Unless you're scared of death
Its time to rise up out of isolation
Set our sights upon a common line
Settle on a central destination
Show our hands stand and mobilize
Behind him we're guaranteed triumphant
The whole of his story is on our side
Yeah everything is gonna be okay now
Everything is gonna be alright
