Nevermore - Optimist Or Pessimist (Lyrics) video free download

Lyrics:

chaos, the rule of the game

spinning as optimist fades

confusion becomed 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 in

freedom has bee stripped away

change it the corrosion fades

slowly we turn

as the pessimist sets these pointed words

if you want to change the world, forget it

the future's n ot in our hands

if you want to change the world, forget it

the pigs already set in

the optimist understands why the world's gone down the drain

the pessimist never bends, constricting thoughts 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 suppose to be

if you want to change the world, forget it

the future's n ot in our hands

if you want to change the world, forget it

the pigs already set in

the optimist understands why the world's gone down the drain

the pessimist never bends, constricting thoughts 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
