Optimist or Pessimist Nevermore

[Verse 1]
Chaos, the rule of the game
Spinning, as optimism fades
Confusion becomes law
Eclipsing hope, the pessimist said:

[Pre-Chorus]
"If you want to change the world
The future's not in our hands
If you want to change the world
The pigs already set it"

[Verse 2]
Freedom has been stripped away
Change it, this corrosion fades
Slowly, we turn
As the pessimist spits these pointed words:

[Pre-Chorus]
"If you want to change the world
The future's not in our hands
If you want to change the world
The pigs already set it"

[Chorus]
The optimist understands
Why the world's gone down the drain
The pessimist never bends
Constricting thought in vain
From the pessimist point of view
There's nothing we can do
As I paint this picture gray and taste the pain
I'll play the optimist
