Dark Times For The Optimist

from Beautiful Intruder by Markus Michelucci & Sound Refuge

/

about

Protest song about the state of the world right now with our terrible governments and money charged societies...

lyrics

Sure I’m smiling all the time.
I’ve got a hopeful outlook on life.
Hell I’m probably smiling now.

The good times are good and the bad times are bad.
But I’m learning what I can and making the most out of every single thing.

The road may be long.
But I’m rollin on my way.
Though it dark times, dark times, dark times for the optimist.

Lies and promises all the time,
bullshit wars and endless waste of life at war and at home.

Got food to feed and medicine to heal.
But it’s kept for those with greed, greed enough to kill.
Or the fortunate few.

The road may be long.
But I’m rollin on my way.
Though it dark times, dark times, dark times for the optimist.

You don’t have the best intentions for all, just short sighted goals.
You don’t represent me, and you must resent this country for burning it to the ground.
You won’t need to look far ‘cause most of us are standing,
standing and marching and screaming “WHAT THE HELL?!”

The road may be long.
But I’m rollin on my way.
Though it dark times, dark times, dark times for the optimist.
