Eternal Optimist - Hanoi Rocks

I’m just like anyone

I dream of being someone

Fixed on growing young

Man, ain’t it fun

I put up a real good front

Act real nonchalant

If I can’t change the world

I’ll change myself

In hope I still believe, if nothing else

In society so bleak

It feels good to be a freak

Unchained by your tv

No fear installed in me

I got the faith, eternal optimist

And I’m a brave eternal optimist

A fail-safe eternal optimist

Don’t bail out on me

If I’m considered mad

It might just make me glad

Deviation here can’t be too bad

You can’t tell me that I can’t

'Cause I can do anything

Should I screw up, that’s fine

I’ll try again

Responsible, no guilt.

I feel no shame

You can find someone to blame

For what’s wrong in your brain

Deny your selfdeceit

You just ain’t fooling me

I remain an eternal optimist

A better day eternal optimist

A fail-safe eternal optimist

Don’t bail out on me

A true blue eternal optimist

A bona fide eternal optimist

A certified eternal optimist

So don’t bail out on me

I’m a brave eternal optimist

I keep the faith, eternal optimist

A fail-safe eternal optimist

Don’t ya bail out on me
