Eternal Optimist
I'm just like anyone
I dream of being someone
Fixed on growing young
Man, ain't it fun
I put up a real good front
act real nonchalant
If i can't change the world
I'll change myself
In hope i still believe, if nothing else
In society so bleak
It feels good to be a freak
Unchained by your tv
No fear installed in me
I got the faith, eternal optimist
And i'm a brave eternal optimist
A fail-safe eternal optimist
Don't bail out on me
If i'm considered mad
It might just make me glad
Deviation here can't be too bad
You can't tell me that i can't
'cos i can do anything
Should i screw up, that's fine
I'll try again
Responsible, no guilt. i feel no shame
You can find someone to blame
For what's wrong in your brain
Deny your selfdeceit
You just ain't fooling me
I remain an eternal optimist
A better day eternal optimist
A fail-safe eternal optimist
Don't bail out on me
A true blue eternal optimist
A bona fide eternal optimist
A certified eternal optimist
So don't bail out on me
I'm a brave eternal optimist
I keep the faith, eternal optimist
A fail-safe eternal optimist
Don't ya bail out on me
I dream of being someone
Fixed on growing young
Man, ain't it fun
I put up a real good front
act real nonchalant
If i can't change the world
I'll change myself
In hope i still believe, if nothing else
In society so bleak
It feels good to be a freak
Unchained by your tv
No fear installed in me
I got the faith, eternal optimist
And i'm a brave eternal optimist
A fail-safe eternal optimist
Don't bail out on me
If i'm considered mad
It might just make me glad
Deviation here can't be too bad
You can't tell me that i can't
'cos i can do anything
Should i screw up, that's fine
I'll try again
Responsible, no guilt. i feel no shame
You can find someone to blame
For what's wrong in your brain
Deny your selfdeceit
You just ain't fooling me
I remain an eternal optimist
A better day eternal optimist
A fail-safe eternal optimist
Don't bail out on me
A true blue eternal optimist
A bona fide eternal optimist
A certified eternal optimist
So don't bail out on me
I'm a brave eternal optimist
I keep the faith, eternal optimist
A fail-safe eternal optimist
Don't ya bail out on me
