CHORUS:
optimism
isn't naive

I am awesome
you can't stop me
pessimism

is a prison
I'll win somehow
you can't stop me now

you can't stop me now
you can kiss my


VERSE 1:
you could throw anything my way
hit me with lightning, I'll be okay

I'm so pumped up, so enthusiastic
you can't beat bein' optimistic
they say that optimism is blind faith

that everything's gonna be okay
so what, you think pessimism ain't?
it's blind faith that every ship'll sink

you can never win if you don't try in the first place
the bottom line is that life is a rat race
and if you get scared and put on your brakes

then you'll never get that cheese taste
now I ain't sayin' life is all great
happiness and rainbows every day

but to get to the good, ya gotta fight through the bad
pessimism will only drive you mad


CHORUS:
optimism
isn't naive

I am awesome
you can't stop me
pessimism

is a prison
I'll win somehow
you can't stop me now

you can't stop me now
you can kiss my


VERSE 2:
a long time ago, I died
my shell was still walkin' but nobody was inside

now I'm back, I'm alive
back in full swing, ready to tear hide
pessimism was keeping me behind

so scared of failure that I didn't even try
but how would I know what's on the other side
of the mountain if I didn't even climb?

there'd be no rainbows for the soul
if the eyes had no tears, that much I know
you can't get hurt once, and then just give up

you can't make yourself believe you're content with no love
cuts never heal if you leave the band-aid on forever
ya gotta let the skin air out, so that you can endeavor

you can plan a pretty picnic, but you can't predict the weather
and if ya get caught in the rain, use your umbrella


CHORUS:
optimism
isn't naive

I am awesome
you can't stop me
pessimism

is a prison
I'll win somehow
you can't stop me now

you can't stop me now
you can kiss my


VERSE 3:
you may call me a fool
tell me that I'm uncool

call me a dumbass
a chance to prove you wrong at last
while you're livin' in your mom's ba!@&(t
cryin' about where your depression pills went
complainin' about how all your years were spent

worryin' about the pain, never made to the pent-
house, cause you were scared of the elevator
I'll let you borrow a dollar, and see ya later
I'll be livin' in a mansion with alligators
with more money than the guy who made Darth Vader

and even if that fails, I'll have a back-up plan
optimism is a win/win situation
you pessimists can keep bein' afraid to dream
but with that attitude, it's gonna be hard to sleep


CHORUS:
optimism
isn't naive
I am awesome
you can't stop me

pessimism
is a prison
I'll win somehow
you can't stop me now
you can't stop me now
you can kiss my


BRIDGE:
so many of my friends
are so very helpless
pessimism killed them
they chose to end
and I can't help but cry

every single freakin' time
it just breaks my heart
to know they're left in the dark
but I have faith
I'm optimistic things'll change
they'll be back some day
and that's when I'll say


CHORUS:
optimism
isn't naive
I am awesome
you can't stop me
pessimism

is a prison
I'll win somehow
you can't stop me now
you can't stop me now
you can kiss my

CHORUS:

optimism
isn't naive
I am awesome
you can't stop me
pessimism
is a prison
I'll win somehow

you can't stop me now
you can't stop me now
you can kiss my $$#
