Cynical Hue and Cry

I ask nothing from you
I never believe the truth
That's my my principle
Just call me cynical
No disappointments at all
No expectations to fall
Love is inimical
When you're so cynical

I've looked at it all before
I'll look at it all again
Nobody surprises me
'Cause I think the worst of them
Oblivious to the storm
Don't care if it rains or shines
You think of the good old days
I think of the bad new times

Optimism - had my fill
And every hope I kill
I want to lift my face
But I know I never will

I ask for nothing from you
I never believe the truth
That's my fine principle
Just call me cynical
No disappointments at all
No expectations to fall
Love is inimical
When you're so cynical
