The Pessimist

from A Brief History of Tymm by Robin Tymm

/

lyrics

You complain I'm always pessimistic
That I'll burst your hopeful bubble, break your spell
I still claim I was being realistic
When I said that we're all going to hell

I don't believe each cloud's got a silver lining
If there's even one up in the sky then it's bound to rain
I wish you optimists would quit your whining
You've had your pleasure but now it's time for pain

CHORUS
So sit back, relax, try looking on the downside
Avoid those disappointments from now on
Yeah, there's fun here to be had
Expecting life to turn out bad
It's not all doom and gloom if you assume that things will all go wrong

I don't see the world through rosy-tinted lenses
I don't count my chickens before they break the shell
Perhaps it's just some kind of self defences
To believe that this might not turn out so well

I'm not known for my sunny disposition
You can count that as a blessing or a curse
But I am comfortable with my slight pessimism
'Cause what is good right now can always get a little worse

REPEAT CHORUS

You complain I'm always pessimistic
That I'll burst your hopeful bubble, break your spell
I still claim I was being realistic
When I said that we're all going to hell
When I said that we're all going to hell
