The Optimist Lyrics by DD Smash

The Optimist

1984

Baby-
You're older now
You think you see the limits that you're working to
You have confined yourself like a foot in an unfitting shoe
'Oh I'll never get into that' you say
You are now the defeatist
A sense of tragedy follows you around your room
A part of every man who wallows in that kind of doom
'Oh I'll never get out of this' you say
You are still the defeatist
It's time to roll away the stone and find behind
A thriving optimist
Time to roll away the stone and find behind
A thriving optimistic
Optimist
A doctor- you need a doctor
Doctor Optimistic

Prone to make a mistake or two
But when he makes that mistake
At least he does it with style- Ooh
Wouldn't it be magical if no-one stood in your way
Ooh- elated at the prospect of a new day
'Oh I'll never get used to this' you say
You're the underachiever

But it's time to roll away the stone and find behind
A thriving optimist
Time to roll away the stone and find behind
A thriving optimistic
Optimist
A doctor- you need a doctor
Doctor Optimistic

Prone to make a mistake or two
But when he makes that mistake
At least he does it with style- Ooh
Singing baby! We're laughing our way to the future
Singing baby! We're laughing our way to the future
Singing baby! We're laughing our way to the future
Singing baby! We're laughing our way- yeah
Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic
Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic
Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic
Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic
