It’s Hard to Be Hopeful Lyrics by M.J. Hibbett

The Unearthly Beauty of M.J. Hibbett

0

It's hard to be hopeful
Very hard indeed
When stupidity keeps winning
And love loses to greed
When a faith in human nature
Starts to feel at best naive
It's hard to be hopeful
It's very hard indeed
It's easy to be cynical
It's tempting to give up
When the worst thing keeps on happening
The best thing never does
When optimism's always wrong
Dismiss it with a shrug
It's easy to be cynical
It's tempting to give up
Normally this is the point
At which I'd say
Come on everybody
Everything will be OK
But I must admit that I'm
Not feeing it today
The only thing to do
Is stop watching the news
Cos every time I turn it on
Thеre's some arseholе who says
They've talked to normal people
And the normal people said
Whatever vile hateful spite
The arsehole has just said
So why don't I just switch off my television set
And go out and do
Something less boring instead?
Let's read a book
Let's ride a bike
Let's go on an open top bus tour and see the sights
I've kept up with politics for my whole life
And all that it's achieved
Is to make me believe
That it's hard to be hopeful
Very hard indeed
With the waterfall of awful
That pours out of my TV
But turning off the tap sometimes
Might give us space to breath
It's hard to be bopeful
Very hard indeed
